Well I guess I can't really feel like him, but what I do feel is certain and it has exciting implications. I think my headsup game has elevated to officially "the best" meaning I don't think there are more than 5 people that can beat me longterm. I really think this applies to both NLHE and LHE, partly because the best LHE players generally don't play nosebleeds for long (hello TLK and Bryce, I'll be joining you shortly in retirement.) But really, I feel my understanding of the game combined with the style I play just fit together so well that I have few exploitable weaknesses. Whatever, I'm not going to be explaining any more of that in depth as I don't care to create a blueprint on how to beat me.
Today I played a session of 100/200NL vs a two fish, and I think I played exceptionally. To elaborate, I feel like I fired 2 and 3 barrels with precision, and when I was caught it only helped to bolster my image. Therefore of all the plays I ran I was at least 90% effective, which is deadly. Some hands:
Almost my biggest pot ever, he bought in for 12k and I think this busted his acct, GG:

Anyhow, alluding to my title for this rant, I feel like my game is coming together with the precision that I saw when I watched PA vs Genius sometime in November, which was the best HU match I've ever seen. Unlike previous months where I've started strong and finished lackluster I am fully motivated to keep up my level of intensity during play and I can only hope the future is as bright as I'd like to believe.
Next time I will post about some milestones in the not-so-distant future.
GL at the tables,
