obv sustainable

Well I guess I haven't completely forgotten how to play. +8 buyins tonight at NL50. Would just stay there if not for the time crunch to make Nova by end of year.

Of course since I am +400 for the night, I just sat at a PL400 game that looked good. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Feel I played this last one bad because I should raise the flop the first time and should just call the second time and try to preserve my stack if I miss since he probably calls any push here. pfffft, hindsight.

I was thinking about picking up Season 1 on DVD and start watching it... worth it overall?

[soah]

BklyPok limp/called 42s utg+1 against me and managed to get my money on a Q22 flop. Then he proceeded to berate me and tell me how bad I am, at which point I obviously challenged him to HU because he's awful. (For those that are unaware, he's sort of like Kelisitaan, except that instead of playing bad preflop and ok postflop, he just plays bad on all streets). He accepted but spent the rest of the session trying to find ways to get out of it without losing face. He was awful at this too. He started by offering to play 1k/2k limit. Next he tried to make less unreasonable offers that were probably still above my comfort zone. But then when he had worked his way down to offering 5/10 nl and I accepted, he had no desire to actually set a date or time for it. His key phrase was "one day".
