Can't Knock Tha Hustle

Current Bankroll: $1610.80

Played 1949 hands of $50 6max NL today for a $245.55 profit plus another $60 or so at $50 PLO when someone kindly pointed out an ubertard was sitting at a $50 table deepstacked.

One of the things I love about poker is just plain old getting to somebody. Getting them so pissed off that they start just giving you stacks and stacks.


Part 1: The Bluff

99% sure he had 99. Usually I don't bluff like that against call stations but I was certain his hand couldn't stand any heat and he'd fold. Not sure if he tried to disconnect cheat there or not, but apparantly he doesn't have any DP's left!

With his little gay minraise preflop I knew he either had something or had just decided he was going to 'outplay' me on this. Pretty hard when I have AA in position, but oh well.

Maybe 10 hands later:

Oops, I guess he outplayed me on that one.

An hour later, I haven't been winning any decent pots and my continuation bets are getting called by bottom pair. Then this happens:

Hmm. I typically wouldn't reraise with JJ but this guy was pretty nitty so his preflop raising range is relatively tight. If he just calls I can put him pretty squarely on 99-QQ or AK.

Flop:

BET Hero , $10

He knows I raise a lot of hands like JT sooted so there is no way he's smoothcalling this flop with QQ or 99, so his most likely hands at this point are TT and AK. The reason for this is that he would be happy to get it in on the flop if he was very sure he's ahead. With AA-QQ and any set he is straight up pushing to my flop bet assuming I'll call, since I called him with Ace high previously.

Turn:

BET NYCguyPhD, $15
RAISE Hero , $31

HMMMM.
Now I know he either has AK or TT, maybe AQ of spades but there is no way he's playing it this way with a set. He would limp with 55, 66 and 88 preflop.

GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!! I came close to typing 'well, you got outs with 10 10, let's gamble' in the chat box but was 6 tabling and had too much shit going on with IM to be able to type it without timing out.

OK therempel...i did exactly what I accused you of doing. Worked hard to build up my bankroll...then donked it off in a mighty tiltathon. It takes one to know one.

In an attempt to fix us both I offer you a challenge.

I'm at $24.24 ( sad isnt' it) which is probably a proportional stack to yours relative to my experience and skill level.

I want to get to it to $600 by October...NOT adding in any additional money...so I can play in the US Poker Champs in AC.

So my challenge is that from now to October...I'll take my stack from $24.24 to $600 or as high as I can..
...and you have to take your stack to the same relative size...which assuming you have around 2000 in there now...would be around 60K, but lets be fair and do half that. I take mine to 600 and you to 30,000. First one to get there wins ??????

You name the bet or any acceptable counter proposal.

OK sucka, I just did what I accuse you of....jacked up my stack then donked it off in a mighty tilt.

I, sadly, have $24.24 and want to get it to 600.

I'll challenge you. I can get mine from $24 to $600 faster than you can get your 2000 to...what's fair...say 30K ?

Name the bet or any counter proposal.

ok I've been thinking a little more. We should move your goal down to 20K since you have a ceiling on being able to move up stakes.

And Im already rolling along.

Playing for pennies I'm up to
37.72
You beter name the stakes and get started.
