Interesting HU session

PartyGirlUK · #1 11-23-2006, 09:46 AM

So, Im learning some NL. Trying out some HU. One guy buys in for $240 at a 3/6 table. He doesnt seem to be very good. It wont be long before I get his money. He seems to like donking pot after I pfr, which is annoying as I normally dont have anything [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] He is also very keen to get it all in.

Not quite sure why he bet the river....

He beats me up some more and has run his $240 up to $635. How? How is it possible for someone so bad to win? Well nevermind, cos I was about to get it all back.

OK I might have picked up some extra outs here. Lets call once more, and if he 3 barrels this after the 88 hand, Im gonna give him credit. His line is just too strong.

lol.. nice post.
Cant tell you how many times something simular to this has happened to me. Just with the ratholing villain suddently disappearing when he hits like 1k..

Something like that can really set me off even if its just 1 buyin gone

Nice post dean, it's like poker but with the whole storyline, not just some vacuum of a hand.....

Dean I was just thinking how you're one of the best posters on this site -- this post doesn't disappoint.
