Big pot #2
Don't you love hitting 2 outters to stack your opponent? Well it happens here. He has barely $.30 more than me so i basically stacked him on that hand when he also filled up on the end. My question here: what are you hoping to hit with his hand? A miracle?

Funny thing with this hand is he told me on the end just to fold and save money. Im like why? I have the nuts man! (2nd nuts actually... a very unlikely 55 beats me) He certainly wasnt happy when the cards were flipped over :D. More to come as the day progresses

Heres another gem... the worst call of the day I make. Look at how much value he put into top pair. I knew he played this way so i was thinking i could easily get paid off if it hits.

Really cleaning up that game dum dum dum...
Same player that i had the nut straight on. Guess what? He pays me off on a huge hand AGAIN. Check it out. Check what he had at the beginning of the previous post... all that is in my stack now. Does he really think 2 pair is good on the end here? A set, a straight, a flush, so many things beat him... all the better for me.

I just have to say this day is sick... up $100 in $.10 NL game. Im going to post my $$ amount on one of my tables before i log out for the day its just sick...

Well as of today my BR has grown from the original $1 on August 8th to just over $190 today. Am I good or what? No hands really too memorable of mentioning today. Mostly idiotic plays on the part of my opponent on total draws that end up missing thank goodness. I have moved up to the next level and currently play in the $.25 NL texas hold 'em on AP. I hope to have 300 in the next couple days to move up to the next higher stakes, $.25/$.50 NL texas hold 'em on AP. Go me!
Posted Wed Aug 23, 2006 7:23 pm GMT by craggoo
After a couple of nice hands, good suckous, and retarded play by my opponents my BR is sitting at a little over $280. Looks like we'll be playing in the $.50 NL Texas hold 'em by the end of the day.

Today, Omaha was a big part of my game. For the first few hours i was running pretty good in the NL cash games until i hit rock bottom. All draws missed, any made hands got cracked by draws, just nothing was going right. Omaha came through in the clutch like it always does. Ending balance: $332.63. Up ~$80 today. Not bad but i didnt get to my goal of 350. There will always be another day
