Back to where I was...
Yesterday I won my way up to $2850, and today I inched my way up to $2879, which happens to be $1 less than where I was 3 0r 4 days ago. Wierd. Both of these days were choppy, and I started out down. Yesterday I won ALOT of my money from Stack 1 from a few posts ago. If she pays attention she will notice that
a.) When I have bad postion vs. Stack 1 I move.
b.) After I move I invariably take alot of Stack 1's stack.
Some players are aware enough to know when somebody is being circled, so to speak, and the ones who are can usually tell who the target is. So far Stack 1 has not demonstrated this sort of awareness, though she did say that I was getting too many good cards, and that I was winning too much. With her style of play whe tends to build a big stack, then gradually lose it back. I just try to get to where I will be a likely recipient.
Today I was losing at the $1-2 table, so I sat at an empty $.50-1 table, hoping to start up another game. The second player to sit down was pretty aggressive, and immediately won $25 or 30 from me. I seriously felt like I was getting raped by this guy, and I was considering giving up on this table altogether. It was starting to fill up though, so instead I moved to about 3 seats to this guy's left. Eventually I flopped a straight whith j8 in the big blind, and bet $2 up front. The other guy besides my new nemesis folded, but nemesis raised it to ten. I raised him two more times before he slowed down. I had $40 left when the turn put two hearts on the board. I was pot committed, and I figured he was too, so I went all-in, since I figured I'd make him pay on the off chance he was on a flush draw. He called me, and showed at, for top pair, top kicker, and I doubled up.
The other good sized pot I got from him was on my last hand. Nemesis was in the small blind (I had decided I wasn't interested in playing a hand once he was on the button, since I wanted position on this guy. I get ak of hearts and raise to $3. Nemesis is my only caller. The flop comes k hi, and he bets about $7 into me. This guy will play utter trash, so I really have no read on him. I call. He bets $23 or so on the turn, I call, and $31 on the river (approximately), I call. He shows 52(!) and I take his $$ and leave. I think he had a busted straight draw, but I don't remember the other cards. I was down until the final hand.
Well, it took me two days to win what I lost in one, showing the power of gravity once again. Meanwhile, the Tigers beat Cleveland 9-7, and are now 67-32. WORD.
