Found PD and sat down…
(AQo)
PD busted to someone else and left.
(77) Didn’t have enough info on either villain to continue with what would have been the winning hand. 77-99 are my bane!
+$1
A min/min/hammer (KsTs) followed by a min/min/min (KQo). I don’t mind paying for the info, especially when they are giving me cheap draws to the nuts.
(KsJs) Tried the river shove, he thought for a while, but didn’t bite.
77 is laughing at me. At least I’m playing it right. I’ve seen the guy with QQ flat call with premium pairs in LP with limpers a couple times, now. Noted…
(JJ) No action on my first set in a while.
(99) Guess how 99 treated me this time? Yeah, the same. I actually like how I played this, and the hands bear that out. I put the button on a pretty wide range but probably two overs, and UTG calls very light. I’m probably slightly ahead of the small stack and if I’m crushed it’s only a buck, and I’m definitely ahead of UTG.
(As8s) Villain is on the d0nkish side, I was surprised he got away from it after leading so strong on the river. If everyone goes away to a half-pot flop bet, there, then I wasn’t going to have any customers anyway. No slow playing at micro…
Finally took kout the madman. Played the player for sure, super aggro, will push having hit any part of any flop and any draw. Was steeling myself for a random 9, but you have to play the range and accept the results.
(AK) Villain has a fairly discipline pf range, but that’s why I knew he was not on the straight here, or aces up. He didn’t reraise, so I didn’t fear a set, either. I just hoped his ace was good enough to go to the felt with, and…well…it wasn’t, but he thought it was, and that’s the important thing.
I get AA three times in four hands, no joke. Naturally, the “Previous hand” function stops working as it often does so I can’t go back and grab them all, but it breaks down like this:
AA #1 (Marsh raises me, I repop, and it folds to me.) +$.40 or so
AA #2 (One pf caller, flop is all low, we end up all in and he shows 53 for two pair and I don’t counterfeit him) -$3.50 or so
AA #3 (I hold up against a short stack for +$1 or so.)
So, yeah. Aces three times in four hands, and of course I come out of it with a smaller stack.
(TT) Thought I was going to get paid by this villain again. Partially paid, I guess.
$5 --> $18.61
119 Hands
Huzzah! Over the $200 mark. Feels good! Will try .05/.10 tomorrow…

Congrats! Whenever I do get into the Cake Challenge, I'll definitely be hitting you up for your notes. Thanks for the offer!
Out of curiosity, have you ever done a search to see if any of the other players out there are blogging about YOU? I did one a couple weeks ago and nothing came up, but it just occurs to me that PD or one of your other recurring fish could find you blogging about them and change their ways.
I've considered that, definitely. I've googled my handle and come up with a bunch of the hand histories I've created, but nothing about me in a blog. Apparently, I'm the only one insane enough to blog extensively about $.02/$.04 online poker.
That being said, I have been trying to avoid using handles in my posts that can be easily googled, and I"m going to be much more vigilant about it as I move up. I'm less concerned about $.02/$.04, where the fish don't seem to be that interested in self-improvement.
When I refer to a player as "seat X," though, it is usually for google disguise. I'm also considering making the blog private. TNPers are my audience, really, so I wouldn't care if the blog were unreadable by strangers.
Nor would there be any reason for anybody other than TNP-ers to read it in the first place. Make it private.
