Two Plus Two Newer Archives - Official November Thread: General Discussion

Had the most disgusting session of my life last night. I'm sitting at 2/4 HU up ~5k or so on the day when dmarz17 sits down. About a month ago we 2 tabled each other for about 2k hands and I ended up taking ~8k from him. He's a decent player just ridiculously spewy when he's not hitting cards and has some SERIOUS tilt problems. Some cherrypicked hands:

Etc, etc. I couldn't connect with a flop in a 3b pot and when I did he either folded or sucked out. And just about every spot I decided to bluff (which wasn't a very high frequency) in he was showing up with the nuts or close to it. After dropping about 7k to him I finally convince him to move up.

gg life. I was on about 12k downswing before this happened and I just recovered from a 28k swing in september and I'm REALLY not looking forward to having to do it again.
