Who wins in a HeadsUp4Rolz. You, or @Bmeister51
Are we playing PLO, mixed games or hold em?

Won $415 in the mixed game tonight. Last hand before I was planning to leave we're playing Razz I'm dealt 5-2/6 and it's folded to me after the K up brings in, I raise, he calls
I catch a duece and have 26 showing and bet
He has K6 showing and calls
I catch an ace so my visible board is A26
Before he gets dealt his card he says "you paired!" And then he catches
K6K
I respond YOU paired and bet, he still calls my bet
Then
A26Q
K6K7
He calls again
I get dealt another Queen in the hole and he catches an 8 and calls to scoop with 23678, le sigh
Same guy in a previous session had KKT up in Super Razzdugi and I had 256 all spades showing (and had the made low and a 3 card badugi to freeroll him, but missed and he made the king dugi for half the pot)
So was frustrating after he paired the Kings and I had him in such bad shape to wind up scooped. But its sticky fish like this that line my pockets

Oh yeah, and in triple draw after the first draw I had 24579 so dumped the 9, picked up.a 6 with one draw left, check-raised my opponent, got three bet, we both stood pat and he had 76432 against my 76542. That one hurt
That is nasty

It sucked but when he three bet me, I had a feeling I was beat. I have the worst 7 possible, so I'm hoping he is doing it with an 8, because any 7 beats me

Yes, I'm selling action at 4.68 markup. I have final tabled every single table tournament I ever played, so you know it's a good value!
I appreciate the interest, but I'm comfortable with these buyins and had planned to just front the money myself
Plus, I only have a $1,200 tourney cash on Hendon Mob until I win both these back to back. Then I can charge stupid markup lol
Of course, chased me down for half the pot when he was getting freerolled lol

$4.68 markup? - I'd be happy to pay that!

...also loving the new "re-entry" column. I wonder if Negreanu's push for fewer rebuys is getting traction?
I'd be willing to split this with you - $2.34 each?$4.68 markup? - I'd be happy to pay that!
Spends nine months as a semi-pro building up his bankroll and paying down his monthly nut.
Blows it all to feeding sharks during the first week of the WSOP.

When I sit down with 3K in the mixed game I make sure everyone knows I've got my entire networth on the table. Gotta put it all on the line, Mikey McDermott style!
You're making a run at it, aren't you? Rolling up a stake and going to Vegas.

I declare the same thing when I sit down with a $100 in a 2/4 limit game at the Flamingo.

Question for you. How many hours do you put into perfecting your craft away from the table? I apologize if someone already asked this question, but I didn't read through everything.
