Haven't posted here in forever, will try to update a little more now that I'm on break for over a month.

Anyway, October was another sick month for me, November was rough, and now after cashing out a bunch and having a rough downswing to start the month in December my roll is in bad shape and I'm rebuilding at $1/$2. I played a hand last night that I thought was pretty interesting, so I posted it on 2+2, where I'm a semi-regular poster in the SSNL forums. Basically, I called in position 200 BBs deep w/ AxJs, flop was Ks2x5x, checked through, turn is As and I call IP, river is 7s, he checks, I bet for value, he check-raises, and now I shove as a bluff. Thought that was a pretty damn good play, considering the range I put him on, but wanted to check-up on it since I've been getting raped lately. Nobody likes it, which is fine, maybe I'm wrong, but God, no one there can think outside the box or at least make a substantial post refuting my argument. They all go by standard lines like "OMG, trying to push him off two pair (the most likely hand for him IMO) is such spew." without any reasoning. Now yeah, if stacks were shallow, trying to get him off two pair there is retarded. But this deep, the guy has to be worried about bigger hands than two pair, I have the Js which takes away from flush combos he can have, and he doesn't have AK because that guy would have c-bet it on the flop every single time. I laid out the math, laid out his range, showed that I thought he folded more than the 60% I need for a push to be +EV, and I get one or two sentence replies with no substance. And just for kicks, the guy folded and showed A7 for rivered two pair. LOL.

It's been forever since I've updated this, but I haven't died, or fallen off the face of the earth. Poker's only been so-so lately, but life is good...
