One sunny day at 200nl

Alrighty so I was mindin' my own business, playing with my brand new iPod Video (Thanks PokerStars), when I see a blinkin' in my irc window. It's gewd friend Ratholeusoul. He told me that there was this huuuge fish at 200nl tables. Now make no mistake, I am normally a 100nl player, but if there's a money dispensing machine, I'm up for it. So here goes.

Brag: I have friends that get me into good games
Beat: Soon to follow

So I enter the table having gotten a tip on one of the player's styles. I know my friend from before and I know he's probably going to be playing me doin' them bluffs and sorts.

So I venture deeper into the table and get a seat from the right side of the $800 stack fish. Position ain't great, but he isn't either. At this point, my friend goes:
"I think you should ship me at least 20% of the reads and info"

I comment with a luvly "

".

After him showing a few fancy of them bluffs, we get into a pot with each other.

There's the 20% right there! Well, having given him some boost, my endeavour towards the greater tomorrow was followed by a daring reload and a few broken bloodveins in my head. Tharr be whales! Avast ye!

Well, this obviously wasn't good enuf, after getting AA and KK like I've never had before and winning a tremendous amount of blinds and small pots, I got another pair of the two eiffel towers - again, against my gewd gewd friend who had gotten me in this luvly game. Where I was only stuck $150 anymo.

66 hands later and $458 poorer I hover back into the realms of depression and despair. Thanks for the invite mate! Would love to do it again!
