oop, not posted for more than a week! I was away for a long weekend so haven’t actually played much poker, and what I did play was fairly so-so (On checking it I’ve made $56 – actually quite pleasing considering it seemed like I wasn’t playing at all).
Sooo, what can I post about? Not much I guess. Full Tilt is still proving to be the best site to play husngs – plenty of players and not much waiting for a game. Tonight I’ve been playing on Cake (under the alias ‘Rolf Lmao’ – geddit? 
), but it takes too long to sit and wait for someone to join you, so I’ve been joining anyone waiting on a game $25 or less (not many $25s, although the one I played I won – whoohoo!). So far been doing ok, but not getting many games over $10.
Here’s a great hand though – I love bluffing, but when someone showed me that they folded top pair it makes it well worth the many, many times that I get called down;
No Limit Holdem Tournament

There is some history on that hand – I’d played the same line of cbet, check turn, fold river about 3 times, with him making a PSB on the river each time. So I was actually waiting for a hand to have some value to take this line anyway, but I figured he’d also give the click-it-back action some credit on the river anyway, and a bluff would work just fine too (which it did lol!). However I had been putting that PSB of his as a stone cold bluff to simply buy the pot, and to see him fold away a hand with decent value really surprised me. I guess those other PSBs weren’t bluffs at all (maybe).
Oh, and here’s another one (different opponent);

SB: what a joke
SB has 15 seconds left to act
SB: i got 36
SB folds

Possibly a bet for value more than a bluff, but very thin really…
