strikin while the irons hot

took my roll (74$) to a 5/10 stud hi table, played HU with some cat with 200$.

after about 30 minutes, i had 220$ to his 50$. im not a big fan of hitting and running but i *am* a big fan of quitting ahead instead of giving back money you outplayed someone for. i just dont dig extended HU sessions, even when im running well. after you lose a few big pots, the tilt is too ugly, it can impact my play for days.

so i apologized and gave him about 20 hands warning that i was bouncing.

against some players on some sites i might just sit out and bounce (looking at you ftp) but the truth is, there is decorum involved in HU play, or there should be, and if you are going to bounce on a match after running hot, the least you can do is give notice.

and also, the truth is, im here to make some money. stash it away, bankroll some moves up in limits, hopefully put together a substantial enough roll someday to not be taking retarded shots when i want to sit in a juicy 20/40 LHE game or a 5/10 plo game. thats where substantial profits happen, like lifestyle changing profits.

everything between now and then is just prep work.

anyway, taking a breather, i might be done for the night.

solid weekends work tho.

stars: +1200 about
prima: +185
bodog: +145

even without the big win on stars, id be feeling very good right now.
