The session before today, I dropped something stupid like 70k to isildur in a matter of 2-300 hands of me playing terribly and him running very hot. This bothered me and I had really been looking forward to a rematch. Got it today; it went very well.
What a last day before the Bahamas!

It goes without saying that I ran really well. Anytime you win 30 buy-ins in a HU session, you ran really, really good.
A few hands:

Not a lot to say about this one. We had been 4/5betting pretty light and my aces here are really premium so I don't mind a 5bet OOP even with our really deep stacks. This actually wound up being the last hand of the session.

I was pretty proud of this one. I had been c/raising these polarized spots pretty light and thought it was a good time to go for thin value on the flop and get floats from a huge part of his range. River obviously plays itself, I actually figured he would have jammed diamonds on the turn.

Our games are always very aggressive :). Today I happened to find myself on the good side of these preflop situations.

Oops. Not a lot to say about this one.
So there are plenty more hands, but realistically it's just a lot of me having the nuts to his second nuts and that old thing. Today was a good day. Stoked to fly out to the Bahamas tomorrow.
Crossing my fingers for good weather.

Cheers,
Mike
