Burnt!

So after an afternoon of water slides and wave pools. I look like I'm an indian, prepared for battle. My right side is completely burnt, as under my right eye. It looks like I'm half covered in war-paint. Anyway, when I got home, I had time to do two $11 dollar heads-up matches, winning them both.

Here was a dominating hand from the 2nd heads-up match, beautifully played if I do say so myself. I even talked the opponent into calling..observe.

Seat 1: tripmetracy (1280 in chips)
Seat 2: lGotRivered (1720 in chips)
lGotRivered: posts small blind 15
tripmetracy: posts big blind 30
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to lGotRivered [4d 8c]
lGotRivered: raises 60 to 90

lGotRivered: checks
*** TURN *** [4h 4c 8s] [5s]
tripmetracy: checks
lGotRivered: checks
*** RIVER *** [4h 4c 8s 5s] [9s]
tripmetracy: bets 120
lGotRivered: raises 240 to 360
tripmetracy said, "flushed me"
lGotRivered said, "nah"
tripmetracy said, "full boat"
lGotRivered said, "maybe"
tripmetracy said, "really"
lGotRivered said, "maybe i have nothing and put you on air"
lGotRivered said, "maybe i have the boat
"tripmetracy: calls 240
*** SHOW DOWN ***lGotRivered: shows [4d 8c] (a full house, Fours full of Eights)
tripmetracy: mucks hand
lGotRivered collected 900 from pot
*** SUMMARY ***Total pot 900 Rake 0 Board [4h 4c 8s 5s 9s]
Seat 1: tripmetracy (big blind) mucked [6d 7d]
Seat 2: lGotRivered (button) (small blind) showed [4d 8c] and won (900) with a full house, Fours full of Eights

As you can see, I raised with 4-8 off suit. In heads-up, I play differently for each opponent, if they are loose and aggressive, I let them do my betting for me. If they are tight, I tend to raise almost every other hand.

Good luck for me tonight as I will be doing the $15 tournament, $2 tournament, and perhaps some others..
