LoL!

Nice bri! Welcome to LAG-poker land! Feels kindof....satisfying, doesnt it? hehe. I absolutely LOVE the pocket 8s push. He probably had a better pair and a better flush draw than you did- hell you may have pushed with as little as one out (one black 8), which, i dunno about you, but that is plenty good for a push in my book, at a $10 table!

I played some $50 NL 6 max and was playing like that, and my PT stats were flop aggression 11.0, turn aggression 0 because i pushed on every flop where i PF raised, and never saw a turn because everyone folded, except for one guy who pushed on me with Tp/no kicker/no flush draw when i had flopped a flush. I think i made about 400 in that session. Amazing how things seem to work out so nicely when ya just dont care!

good to know we can still have fun at this game, eh?

I came to the same conclusion about Pacific. It's not worth playing there, but since they let you sit down with bonus money, no reason not to make it a free roll and try to double up your bonus money with some LAG play.

I've taken to playing freerolls the same way, monster LAG. Its nice to have someone crapping it when you push all-in from now where and they are really sweating whether to call with their aces or not.

well, I managed to start by losing about $15 at first when my ATo failed to connect on a suited flop and I had the Ace against a shortstacks flopped flush. I later doubled him up again when my ATo in the very next hand found myself against his QQ. I did manage to triple up when I went all in with KJs 2 hand later and the flop was Q55 against KK. How could I possibly double up there? A T and a 9 on the turn and river of course.

I then decided to push all in wiht overs and a flush draw with QT on a 856 flop against 77 and hit a T on the river to win another stack. My final hand was the powerful limp raise with KQs against a button raiser. He called half his stack and then all of it on a blank flop that was 2 to my suit and lost when I hit a King on the river. Overall, another 20 hands, up $5.

Currently, I have about 40-50 hands in at 10nl and I'm up about $30. Thats an impressive 600 bb/100 if I do my calculations correct. Maybe I can actually take some of this money out.

My best ever tourney finish was 2nd in a freeroll where I pushed all in every other hand for about the first hour. I built up a stack twice as big as anyone elses, coasted into the money, then busted two people in three hands when I got AA, QQ, AA in that order on the final table. Fun times ... Of course, I busted out when my opponent hit a 3 outer heads up at the end, though I couldn't exactly make too many complaints about luck...
