with his pot of gold. tonight i played against The Largest Fish in the World (TLFITW). he'd gone through 2 buy-ins in 10 minutes....calling/raising on every hand with no pair/nodraw. then the following hand came up:

$20NL @ Prima

TLFITW limps UTG
UTG+1 limps
MP1 raises to $0.80, presumably to isolate TLFITW
i call from MP3 with
both limpers call...4 way fllop.

flop:
pot: $3.50

TLFITW bets out $1.40
UTG+1 calls
MP1 calls
i raise to $8 despite being really freakin worried that one of the callers has QT for the straight.

TLFITW re-raises me the minimum....both callers fold...i push....he calls.

and i'm up against......

turn is the but the river is a brick and i drag a huge pot.

PT says he went through 6.5 buy-ins in 80 hands.......that's something. incidentally...i may just be out of my losing streak. i had a crazy good day at the tables, and have booked small wins the past few days.
