so january has not gone so well for me so far, today was beginning the same way, i lost 50 cents real quick on a missed draw(5NL), then just sat for a while stealing blinds(thanks PAHUD, just got the serial today). after 100 hands of stealing blinds and being colder than eskimo coot, this little beauty pops up.
the villian wasnt getting out of line, until the few hands before this one. had raised preflop the last 3-4 hands, i called him down to fold the river with pocket 10's the previous hand hoping to hit. he was giving me odds and bet 10 cents on every street, same as his preflop raise. i had position on him as well. so this hand comes next, i smile and tell my monitor that i want him to raise again.

A3? ship it.
on a side note, without PAHUD, none of my breakeven over the last 90 hands would have been possible. i dont steal all that often unless i see someone that is folding every hand and plays one every few orbits. PAHUD showed me the goods so i could play better. i single tabled for probly an hour just so i can get used to have the stats and quickly determine what is up with a hand, without letting the stats determine how i play preflop.(no limping with A4o just because OOP villian limps and plays 90% of his hands.)
