(AKo) Rope-a-dope with a hand that just kept getting better. Villain had A2.
(KQo) Did I maximize the nuts, here? I guess so, if I can’t get a call of a ps bet from any of three opponents on that turn.
(AJo) Wow, now THIS is a bluff call! Awesome. Simon would be proud. “I call; ten high!” Do they make calls like that at 1/2?
(87c) Top pair, flush draw, and Simon giving me the rest of his stack.

(AAT5cc) Picked up the nut flush draw on the turn, and while it felt like a position bet on the river, I was losing to too many hands to call.
(A277ss) I knew my redraw was pretty weak, but it was clear that the quartering faerie was coming, so I thought I could be ahead of my obvious other A2 with the sevens alone. The third wheel made the whole thing worth it (I wonder what he called the turn with but then folded the river with). I meant to raise him all in on the turn, but was having trouble with the controls.
(AdAh9cTh) Not that this is high-lelvel O8, but I did like betting the flop knowing I had the blocker to the nuts (Ad).
(AcAs4s3c) The hand right after, I get my best starting O8 hand ever. For a chop.
(AsAcKh9c) TWO hands later, more aces.
(AAT5) TWO hands later, more aces. This is getting weird.
(QJ52ddcc) A loose pf call turns into a
(KKQTsscc) Wow, I’m, getting some nice starting hands. Most turn to crap after the flop, but that’s
Just tell me how much I win. DRAGON23 played the hand terribly. I was going to quit, but he bought back in full, and I don’t know if I can leave an O8 fish that big in the pond.
(As3s8h3c) SUCH a pretty flop for my hand, but I end up folding to a min bet on the river.
Time for bed, not going to catch that fish again tonight.

Congrats on getting back up over the 2-century mark.
I’m gearing up to start my own challenge, and noticed a setting in the “basic” tab of the blog settings that seemed like it should be something you look into:
Let search engines find your blog?
If you select "Yes" we will include your blog in Google Blog Search and ping Weblogs.com. If you select "No", everyone can still view your blog but search engines will be instructed not to crawl it.
This seems better than making your blog private (the original thought to keep other Cake players from finding your blog), because it allows people like Marshall and myself to keep reading "Decisions not Results" in our RSS feed readers. When the blog was taken private we lost the ability to read the blog in our feed readers.
Yeah, I had both set to be "extra sure," but you are right, the "no engine crawl" should be enough to achieve the level of privacy I'm looking for.
You are reopened to RSS feeds, enjoy!
Weee for RSS feeds again!
Nice work on fighting right back up there man. Keep at it and you will be soaring high very soon, I just know it.
O8 seems so psycho online. You either make a big ass payday like this one that gets you over a hump, or you get crushed and ask yourself why you just lost 3 buy ins in one hand. Evidenced by Jason though, it can turn into some pretty awesome runs sometimes.
Nice work Ryan. I am a huge advocate of playing O8 microstakes if you are good, and obviously you know what you are doing.
The preflop play gets a bit tighter as you move up and you will run into some good players. But the donks still run a muck, see my post on my jack high winning the high hand.
Glad to see your making solid progress.
Maybe Marsh or yourself can walk me through making my blog semi private. I really want the WNP crowd to have access but don't want random folks looking through search engines viewing it.
