Again?
I get on today, I'm on the .50-$1 NL tables or about 10 or 15 minutes, when a seat on the $1-2 opens up. I get on, one before the button, and am dealt pocket aces! I'm hoping for some action, but everybody folds around to the guy in front of me, who raises up to about $12. I figure I don't want to scare him off, so I bump it to $22. One of the blinds calls (!) and so did the original pre-flop raiser. The flop comes king-high, and it's checked to me. The pot's like $66.50, and I raise it to $36. The blind folds, and the guy in front of me raises it to $72. I figure he's either got ak, kk, or something lower and he's really ballsy. I go all-in. I get called, show, he mucks, and I'm sitting on about $420.
That's three times in three days I've gone all-in with aa on either the flop or the turn, got called,
and won.
This isn't supposed to happen.
Big pairs are supposed to win small pots, and lose big pots. I mean, sure, you see this sort of thing in sit-n-gos, or in bigger tournaments when the stacks get short and the blinds get big. Cash games? What's the world coming to? Something tells me I need to transfer some of my $2790 or so over to PartyPoker and see what happens. Remember when I blamed 6-handed games for stealing all the fish? I think I was wrong. They're playing no-limit!
How long can this last? I need to run my roll up NOW before these clowns figure out how to play, AND before the government outlaws internet poker.
Go Argonauts!
Other than the three times I've had aa, gone all-in, and had a caller, I'm a net loser the last four days, to the tune of about $300. But these aces, and more importantly, these callers have me up about $300. See what I mean about losing my work ethic?
Meanwhile, the Tigers beat the White Sox 2-1. I'd post the standings again, but that could get tedious. This could be one of those pivotal days however. The Tigers now have a 5.5 game lead on the White Sox, their biggest of the season, and the White Sox are now tied with the Red Sox. Who knows? Maybe this is how the AL East will retain it's chokehold on the AL Wildcard. As long as I'm risking jinxes, something tells me the White Sox won't be on top of the ESPN power ratings anymore...
Go Canuks!
