Split It
I could not get motivated to do anything last night, so I played a lengthy session. For quite a while it was profitable. I got cards, hit flops like they were going out of style and got folds when I needed them. And then it happened:
I met a fish. A real, flopping, mouth-breathing, fully retarded fish.
It should have been awesome. It's not every day that you'll find an opponent at 100NL that will call a raise with any two cards. I know it's common to see this sort of thing live, but I don't remember seeing it much above the 0.01/0.02 level online since the days of Party Poker.
It wasn't awesome.
If I were at home I'd dig out some of the hand histories. I remember losing one hand where I flopped a straight and improved to a flush, villain went I believe runner-runner for a full house. After calling a raise with 85o. For the longest time the fish hit everything he looked at, it was uncanny. 85 was the mortal nuts on several hands.
The better part of a full buyin found its way out of my stack for later redistribution. That kind of sucked.
I did get a fair amount of my money back in the end - not all of it from him. In one of the funniest moments of the evening a fresh short stack sat down with his 20 and got a hand in the big blind. I turned the nut flush and instapushed for like 150 into a 3 dollar play chip pot. Snap call. Oops, no outs. It's been a while since an overbet for value worked so beautifully.
I guess you had to be there or be me or something. Let's just say that I enjoyed it.
