I woke up early this morning as I had to move my car so the wife could get her car out and go to work. Rather than go back to bed, I fired up old rubbermaid (1), and proceeded to do something that I’ve never done before. I played both Full Tilt AND PokerStars at the same time. I know huh.
So when I got to the virtual felt of two different casino’s at one time, I plopped down at a $5+0.50 One Table SnG on Full Tilt and the Micro limit $3+0.40 10 player SnG. I had time, but not enough time to play anything more. I played very well, but not 100% donkey-free. I started the PokerStars game close to 20 minutes after the Full Tilt game. In the Full Tilt SnG, I was able to pull off a masterful bluff against my opponent. I knew that the player did not have top pair, or even middle pair. There was AKo on the board and my nemesis fired off with a bet that was more than the minimum bet, but less than 30% of the pot. I knew that the player was testing the waters with a value bet. I fired right back all in. It was a semi bluff, I was on a draw, but in the end, two of the four cards that I needed, were in the other players hand. My nemesis mucked his/her cards and I took down a pretty massive pot. One of the rail birds knew I was bluffing, maybe she was just pissed that I took her out a few hands earlier. I dunno.
When the Full Tilt SnG got down to heads up play, the PokerStars game was in a three-way, which soon became heads up. At least the Dead Card Zone came after the bubble, cause I got crap cards for the longest time. I stuck with my heads up game play, randomizing calling, raising and folding with the crap cards. Sometimes I took a small pot, most of the time I didn’t. Ultimately, both SnG’s ended within the same minute. I was the underdog in both SnG’s, but I was sure that I could pull off an upset. Well, better luck next time champ.
Overall, I still played more hands than I should have, but I played a lot less than I normally do. Baby Steps. On a better note, February is starting to look good. I’m already up $3.00! LOL!
Below are the screen captures of the results. Hoooorray!
