He Shoots! He Misses! He losses his head!

Continuing to run well in the satellites on full tilt I have been cashing in the $T and on Saturday I crested the 2K bankroll mark and decided to take a shot. I choose three game’s of $330 + $30, two 9 handed and one six handed. If I fail I will go back to 2 tabling the $22 till I get to 2k again and then I’ll take another shot. Well that was the plan anyway.

First game blind down to 1100 not finding a thing, blinds hit 60-120 I raise to 380 from mid position with 44. Max Pescatori with about 1200 in the BB flats calls, and then checks when the Board comes 997, I move all in and he insta-calls my shove for 700 or so with A 10. I know the turn before its dealt and the seven gives him the lead with we drawing to 4 outs for the split and 2 for a win, and ace on the river at least legitimises his win but I hate every single aspect of his play, weak, loose it’s the new solid.

Second game six handed, sitting on 1300 having to fold to a few raises, blinds hit 50-100 and im on the BB with A8. Player with 1850 raises from the cut-off to 350, a bet that just scream’s, “I have shit and will fold to a re-raise because I have raised this amount so I have exactly 1500 behind ie average if you come over the top”. So I re-raise all-in and its 1050 back to him, he nearly times out before calling with K 10. he spikes a K on the flop. WOW.

Third game, third hand or so and my Finnish female friend from the $110 heads-up is sitting on my left. I raise 80 with 8-9 of clubs from the cut-off and she flat calls in the small blind and the big blind folds. The Flop comes J 8 8 two spades, and I’m praying she has smooth called with KK or AA mistaking knowledge of my hyper aggressive heads-up play for how I play S+G. I lead out 110 at a 190 pot, trying to look weak without looking like I’m trying too look weak.

I get insta re-raised to 220 and I move all-in trying to look like I’m on the flush draw, I get insta called by two black nines 99! “Marvellous I think, She’s drawing to one out as I hold the other nine, unless of course she catches runners for the flush or a straight” The second this thought crystallised in my mind another spade appears on the board, followed quickly by a fourth. I almost throw up.

So well I took my shoot and it did’nt work out time to pack up for the night, ummm maybe not. Titling I sit down with $200 at a heads-up table and quickly get owned, I reload another $200 and lose that and another two buy-ins. I’m down to my last $200 and oppo is sitting with $1,000 and im at a massive disadvantage. I roar back though and I take a buy-in off him with a rather well played flopped straight. Then I’m quickly up to $800 when his flopped king is no match for my slow played aces. I end the session at $1,006. Up $6 dollars, what a fucking idiot I am.

Well back to grinding the $22 and hopefully in a month I can take another shot.
