HU Cash and SEC Football
Sunday, October 25, 2009 09:44Mtts online have still been frustrating, with very little success in the past week or so. These tournament downswings are common and have given me a little more motivation to work on my cash game skills. I recently put some money on Cake Poker and the other night decided to play a little 10/20 NL HU vs an unknown player. The match turned into a steamroll very quickly after the villain decided to 5bet allin for a full stack on my first 4bet preflop. His holdings were 49ss vs my AQcc. My hand held and from there I ended up winning over 7k off him in about 1hr and half. Another interesting hand occurred as well. Since Cake hand histories arent up to par yet, ill just type the action. My stack was about $5500 vs Villains $2300. I raised the button with t9o to 60 pre(my normal raise was either 40-60 mixing up my whole range) Villain calls. Flop was 99J and he checkd to me where I bet $100, he insta raised to $320. I decided to flat that bet and make him lead big on the turn. He did exactly that by firing $600, leaving himself about 1300 behind. I decided to jam to get value from overpairs..big jacks or straight draws. He calld off the rest with T8 and I was able to hold for a $4600 pot. Then a few hands later I picked up AA and I raised the button to $60, he raised to $220 and I decided to 4bet to $550. He jammed KTo and I held for another 4k pot. The next day I played another opponent and won about 5k off him. Those sessions with a few other limit sessions, and a 25/50 cap session totaled up to about 18k profit for the week. Good thing for cash when Mtts are going badly 
I am in the car with my gf Kristin and my parents on the way back from South Carolina. My brother plays left tackle for the Vanderbilt Commodores football team, so we traveled to go see the game and my grandparents that live near there as well. It was a heartbreaking loss 14-10 but thats SEC football for you. Any team can beat any other team on any given day...Im hoping to get home for the night schedule of sunday mtts. Dont quite trust the aircard and the remote highways to ensure a good connection the whole way.
GL at the tables.
