Ahoi!

Just experienced a massive bout of nothing more than pure fortune from playing ultra aggressive... oh and like a complete idiot. Feels good for once playing like a tool and cleaning up big :)

So then... been a little on the antsy side all night and playing out of my zone. Comes from being a little peeved at work and wanting to blow some steam -- note... I WISH this was a regular occurance but it's normally on the other foot. Anyway... a few bourbons and I'm playing some very darn aggressive poker, overly so, at an unamed place with no defined sums. <-- for all the purists. Yes. A little tipsy and WAY out of my means.

I rack up 69 off (No puns... I just thought of them then) and I've already decided that I'm playing it hard. 2nd to act and, lo and behold, I raise something spaz... 6x the BB. Mind you, I've been doing this all night and I get two callers and one min raiser and I'm already doubting what I've done. The raiser has been on to me most of the night and, about 50% of the time, raised me on my marginal hands... not that this counts -- AND to make it worse, he/she has had the better hand most of the time. I think about it for quite some time debating whether or not I should continue with the mindset. Instinct tells me to throw it away now but the booze is whispering in my ear (As a crazy mexican for Pete and Garth) 'Doooooo eeeeeiiiiit.' Well. Who am I to argue? I go all in for an undescribed amount trying my hardest to feign a mad hand given my raise. Mind you my total was less than everyone elses remaining. Not by much but enough. EVERYONE that had put in called and I'm already slapping my head on the desk. Flop... 9 A J - Rainbow. ALL in from the first bettor and when the next goes all in over the top I 'know' I'm dead.

The others fold and the cards come up... AJ Hearts, AK off. 9 on the turn. 6 on the river just to rub it in. Let's just say that I'm one ridiculously happy chappy :)


Nods.

W.T.G Nice to see you get back at the buggas, LOL.

Had a guy at our table tonite that was playing every hand and every raised pot without knowing what he had.

In fact he actually raised some of the pots up to $500 blind if there was anything from 10 or better on ther flop.

It didn't matter who or what the raise was, he called or went all in so many times without looking at his cards. We think it was around 18 hands or more that he took down with some monumental pots and busted 3 or 4 guys.

Until, you know who came along??????

"DAKOTA the MAGNIFICENT"

After telling the guy that it's impossible to keep winning without looking at your cards the guy says "it's all luck playing this game no skills needed".

With that Dakota took over the dealing and after around 8 hands and encouraging allins by anyone with any 2 winable cards the guy was down to a handful of chips before the first break.

Dakota's job was done as he made his point regarding "LUCK verses PLAYING YOUR CARDS".

The guy lasted a couple of hands after the break and there were 4 happy Punters who ended up with his chips.

It was funny in a sense though as he was hitting really good cards and not knowing until it became a show down.

I never had a smell of anything worth playing the whole nite until after the final break.

Blinds were $500/$1,000 I was big blind trippled up and doubled the next and was on my way home in the old Valiant a few hands later.

If I were my own younger brother, Ondie, I'd be furiously shaking my head.

lol well done ondie, you should be the mayor of donkville with plays like that! but a rich mayor at that.

once i was playing a 9 player SNG at a particular unnamed place(5 bucks play money of course)

anyway, it turns out that something unexpected came up and i had to leave in 5 mins even though i just started this tourney.

so i started pushing all in every hand, regardless of what i had.

turns out i started getting very lucky, and i knocked out 8 people to take down the tournament!!! LOL
