LOL-O-COASTER!

Such a lol day.

Today was fun. In the morning I went and took my marketing midterm which was easy pesy. Then I come back and played some tournies and naturally lose. I’m really going to try and stop playing tournies- not so much because I’m losing money but because of the opportunity cost (oh econ!) of me not playing HU. Its just so stupid to play these tournies where if I’m +ev at all, my hourly probably isn’t better than like $50 or something whereas in HU I freaking rock souls to pieces.

So I bust the tournies, am pissed etc and go running. I come back and sit down ready to play a serious 2/4 HU session. I win like 800 or something when my now good buddy KingEppy came and sat with about $240. He turned out to be a super nitty and C/F a lot of flops so I just kept betting, etc and got him down to about $120 or something and then I push over his PFR with 55 and he calls with A10 and naturally gets the wheel to bust my set. Oh well. I kept whittling him down again and had him at 270 when we get my AK v AA and he holds obv. Oh well.

At this point I’m a little tilted as I had this guy on the ropes and now he is up quite a bit on me. Errr…so I start open raising to 24 which probably wasn’ the best idea but I honestly thought it was +ev because he was still calling a lot PF and then just c/f the flop. Anyway, I lose one a good pot on a bad bluff where he called me down and then try it again like three hands later and lose a buy in. SHIT. Now he is up to $1k from his $240 buy in. And from there I continue to lose pot after pot. I can’t catch shit and he starts to c/r me a lot and taking down 60-100 pots. There isn’t much I can do. So he was up to $1.6k at his tops but then I finally started to catch some cards and get 600 back until he left. JERK. Blah, he ended up $900 on me. =(

Anyway, I’m tired of writing so I’ll shorten this up. Other dude buy ins for 160. Loses it quick stupidly. Does it again. Loses it and says he is drunk. I think he ends up losing 3 $160 buy ins until he finally buys in for 152.55 or something (his last $$$). He, of course, builds his stack up to like $1k but he is super agro and I'm super awesome and just bluffs at every hand I check, etc. After winning some good pots I have him down to $500 when this hand occurs.
