yeah, so I was out drinking on a boat all day. some sun, boobies, surf, and margaritas left me flat on my ass while the few energetic people left hit downtown Fort Worth. I decided to fire up UB and check out the so-called 'juicy weekend games'. they were juicy.

I sat at a .10/.25 table with a $98 stack to my left, and slightly-overfilled stacks everywhere else. After just a few orbits, I could see that the big stack was loose-passive, and was in the mood to pay absolutely everybody off. Only one other player had figured it out, and I didn't tangle with him much. I won the first 9 of 10 pots I was in, always showing the nuts or near-nuts in a showdown. Got enough of an image boost to run a few bluffs when I smelled some weakness. Here's an early one.

I'm really starting to pay attention to my Cbetting and others' as well. Possibly I got married to my AKo, but it paid off as he couldn't have been holding anything better than a T. Looks like he put me on a Q when I tried to keep the betting at a pot-sized tear.

first time tangling w/ the big fish. For the prior 3 orbits, he was paying people off with A-high, sometimes even K-high, not to mention 2nd or 3rd pair on the board. So naturally I decide that 3rd pair is the nuts, and call his flop bet, only to hit a 6 outer on the turn. Nice. I was sure that put me in front, and his pot-sized bet on the turn suggested he was scared of the two hearts. Easy call. The Q is nothing to be worried of, unless he was calling me down with Q9 (I am pretty sure he has X9). So how big a raise is he going to call? Maybe I could have squeezed more out of him, but I don't see how he's realistically going to pay me off when I've been flat calling him. Isn't he thinking about what I have?

No, he's going to pay me. I start salivating as I watch him chase his draws.

This player recently busted his $30 stack in w/ KK v AA. He's really tilting hard....or he really understands how aggro you have to be with a shortstack. In this hand, I flop the nuts vs his flush draw, apparently. How do I get more value out of my hand? Hope his flush card hits and it simultaneously fills me up? I have to blow him off this potentially dangerous board, and acting weak doesn't really seem like an option, given his min-bets. Grrr.

Same player 5 hands later. Yup, he's tilting, as he pays off a flopped two pair with top pair, shit kicker. Note that this guy never considered that his K was no good. I could have had K9-KQ, given his raise.

And then he gets me back. An orbit earlier, I had called his Cbet to freeze him and then taken the pot once he froze. Tried the same tactic again, and misread his pot-sized bet for aggression, rather than for the value bet that it was. I remember going through a "he'll bet again if he has it....whoaaaa....that's too big a bet, he doesn't have it....shit, he does'' thought-chain. First impressions, people

chasers pay me off again. the problem here is that the fish opens the door (oddswise) for the shark. lucky me.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1243481
flopped set against flopped top two pair. as a TAG, I read him for an Ace. Could I have squeezed him more?

what the fuck am i doing.

my reraise didn't faze him, but made him think that I didn't have an A. Guess he put me on TT-QQ.

Now my slightly drunken girlfriend is back in my bed. End of poker talk. Sexy talk time. :P
