SO I was runnin like ass tonight. Both bad luck and bad playing. I'm down about 3 buyins after 750 hands and not too happy about it so I decided to change up my play style and go real aggro (for me that is, not like Xas or GLR or Twelver) for a bit and hope that when folks got tired of it I would have a real hand. What do ya know, it worked to perfection. Wish I could count on it to do this every time. I'll recap the 6 hands leading up to the killing stroke.
I had almost 200 hands at this table so I a decent read on most everyone. I know I may not have played the first 6 hands to perfection but for the most part I played the way I did because of how I thought the other players would play. But it all worked out perfect in the end.

They have to be getting tired of me taking pots down by now right?

I folded from the BB to a raise when I had 34o again.

The the biggest most prettiest pot I have yet to see slide my direction since I switched over to NL50. I bet he was pissed as hell. It's never fun losing a double stack you've worked so hard to get.

I suppose he "might" have donked off on this hand regardless, but I kinda think that if I had still been playing as tight as I was up til that last orbit, that my push would not have been as easy for him to call.
