What did I tell ya

Well…..what did I tell you….that I would get those fishes on the 25-50 thats what. They were paying the rent big time last night and yours truly was landlord and collecting his fair share. The bad news was that I believe one of the players has took a fair size whack in the wallet and may not return.

I wont tell you the amounts but I am one happy guy today and it was due after the near misses that I have had over the last couple of weeks. I recorded my biggest ever win for a single session on one table, in fact I dont recall off the top of my head ever winning more in an online cash game before.

But in all seriousness, I have had more than my fair share of losses but my records show my win column far out stretching my loss column and that is good enough for me. Something tells me that this game is over in the 25-50, as far as soft players go anyway so I might just lay low for awhile and play some limit and grind it out on the 6 max.

One hand goes, it is folded to me with 8d-6c and I raise from the cut off to $175, all fold to the BB who calls….this is my target. The pot is $375…..flop comes K-7-4 rainbow and he checks (or she), I fire $220 at it on a semi bluff with an inside straight draw and representing the high card king.

He calls the $220 making the pot $815 and we each have around $5k left. Turn card comes a jack and they check again. I check it back, I usually fire again but I have come to know this guy and I just feel that he has steeled himself to check call me with the better hand all the way to the river.

I take the free card and it comes on the river, a nice big fat five of hearts. He bets $140, I think that he has a hand now and is wanting me to come over the top with a bluff and trying to make me think that he is trying to steal the pot but is afraid to bet any more. So I do not dissapoint him and move in and he calls.

I do not see his hand but he informs me that he had KJ. I have been waiting for a situation like this for awhile and he reloads straight away. Well I have not had a session in NL and especially in 25-50 where so much went my way in the same session before but you know what they say about all good things.

So have a nice weekend and we will talk next week where I will discuss some NL strategies in my blog.

see ya soon
