Nasty Comeback

0

So I was stuck like... $750 at one point 6tabling (3 6max NL$100 tables, 2 HU NL$100 tables, and one 25bb'ing 1/2 PLO table). I was about to call it quits, but I figured I had such a monster edge HU (which is where I was stuck the majority of money), and ended up grinding back to win $1k exactly about an hour after my lowest point of being stuck.

This guy's name tilted me so fucking hard. At one point in this match I was spewing. This prob started my comeback. I can't believe how thin his calldown is...

This is complete and utter spew, however, I realized it's very possible he could have been bluffing before or semibluffing. While I was repping nothing, I know all the draws basically missed, and therefore I figured as long as he didn't have a high card or better, he couldn't call (since many busted draws don't even have a high enough card to call a riv shove) Therefore, I decided to shove, and he needed to at least have a pair to call. Too bad he had a straight lol. I shoulda folded turn, but as I said, I was frustrated a bit during the match.

I can't believe my wishes came true that he would c/r this flop lol. I figured he had KJ or a monster draw (like QTss). Luckily the board came out quite nicely for me.

Vs my other HU villain, who was a TOTAL fish, I couldn't find too many particularly-interesting hands. He would play any hand to a raise pre (like 92o), and even would call reraises with like 85o and shit. He was totally abysmal; I think I ended up beating him for a $100 (but was stuck ~$250 to him at one point). I wish I got his whole stack, and I kept overbetting and shoving and shit because I wanted his whole stack (he was the biggest calling station EVARRR), but it didn't work out :)

BR is at $6.1k. I think what I'll do is take a shot at NL$200 6max soon (4tabling), and no HU for a bit while I'm at NL$200 6max (just to remain focused and whatnot). I know I can crush these games, it's just really a matter of personal management and when I can run well for enough hands to have a solid roll to make it my regular game online, since I cashed out all that moniez before. If I'm ready, I'll take a shot at NL$400 6max at a $12k roll. If I can make that my regular game, I think I'll do a lot of cashing out before I attempt to move up past then (if I even attempt to do that while I'm in college, since stress will be high and poker will have to become a top prioritity).
