Nutjob

Have a look at this hand http://www.pokerhand.org/?2833728 Is he a nutjob or what? My line looks so strong, and on the river my small bet just begs for a call. I think I totally gave away my hand, but he apparently wants to value-raise with A high. The end result was I won my biggest pot ever, a massive $99, high-rollin'! I've also just noticed my bankroll is at $749, beating my previous 'peak bankroll' record by $2, woo. Hope I can keep chugging along and build a roll for 50NL.

Its not all been sunshine and candyfloss though. Was noodling about with poker tracker and I noticed I'd paid $200 rake over 10K hands at 25NL. Eight buy-ins worth of rake, what a rip off! If the poker sites would stop shafting micro stakes players maybe we could move up a lot quicker and pay them more rake by playing higher stakes. Thieves.

Also had another crack at beating my tourney cash record and ended up wanting to stab my eyes out with a rusty trombone. Details as follows. Hours played- 3, people I beat - 1,300+, hand that beat my QQ to bust me - 97o, money won - $0, LOL Donkaments etc.

Happy gamblings.
