the game is (back) on



So... I've finally managed to put in a nice winning session, in what seems like years...

I played for just under two hours...

I saw about 20-25% hands...

The session was split into two... Both 45-60 mins. On first session I cashed out $240 from a $100 buyin, and the second I cashed out $370 from a $100 buyin. Both games were at $1/$2.

This hand scared the s**t out of me, but I just don't like his line. Essentially I feel he played it too quick. His betting pattern was very quick, which I normally take as bluffs. He's played it like a flush, and I almost dropped the river, but I called like a nail, and was rewarded. I think in reality the odds prob say I need to call the river. His line in the hand is more like trips I feel, and then on the river, I didn't feel trips would bet it. Therefore the only thing he could have is a flush, and I just felt the pot gave me odds to be wrong enough of the time to make the call right.

He had shown he wasn't afraid to mix it up prior to the hand. I'd be interested to hear peoples thoughts...?
