High Stakes High Jinks

What was I thinking...........little old me playing $5/$10 Heads-up on Full Tilt. There are two problems with that:

1. I am no way near bankrolled for that kind of game
2. My heads-up game has many flaws and needs working on....big time

I'd withdrawn my Full Tilt roll a while back but I got a rakeback payment of around $10 which I managed to spin up to $100 in no time at all. I've steadily managed to grind that into a $1400 bankroll, which to be quite honest I'm really fucking pleased with. So anyway, last night the devil was in me, I started work yesterday at 7.45am and didn't stop until 10pm - so the little devil on my shoulder was saying that I needed a huge adrenaline fix as a treat for working such a long day.

So off to the $5/$10 table it was and I saw a chap waiting with $600 so I thought I'd join with the same.

About the tenth hand in and I'm dealt 8s 7s in on the button - I raise to £30 and I'm called - flop comes Jc 8d 6s and I lead out for $45 and am raised to $110. I honestly feel that I'm still very much in this hand so I call the raise. Turn 9c I still feel that my 8 is good and lead out for $200 only to be re-raised all-in after a long deliberation. I am such a fish that I thought, in for a penny - in for a pound.

He flips over KQ and a a 5 hits on the river turning my pair into a straight and I take down the pot. He left the table.....and so did I

It was fun, but I won't be playing those stakes for quite some time..........very silly of me and this time I got lucky.........good fun though :-)
