And when he was good, he was very good
I love no limit. Wow, what a run:
#xxx: studioglyphic wins $26.60 from side pot #1 with a pair of aces.
#xxx: studioglyphic wins $19.85 from the main pot with a pair of aces.
My AA vs TT vs AJs, with the other two guys all-in pre-flop. Yeesh. The assrapers held up and I was $26 richer.
#xxx: studioglyphic wins $80.70 from the main pot with a straight, ten to ace.
My AQs vs AKs. I raised to steal, but got re-raised. I called and flopped top pair with a gutshot draw (AJT). I bet half the pot and got re-raised. I called and turned the gutshot while slick made two pair (AJTK). I bet half the pot and got called. Slick pushed when the river paired the ten (1/6 of the pot) and I called (AJTKT).
#xxx: studioglyphic wins $41.35 from the main pot with a straight, ace to five.
Flopped the wheel with A5 and took out the BB who thought his two pair was a BB special from God.
Yeah, I know, a lot of it is just luck, but when you quadruple your buy-in in less than 23 hands, you can't help feeling that the sky is bluer, your whiskey is sweeter, and everything is gonna go your way.
I ignored those feelings and quit. Time to get back to homework.
