V1 and I battled heads up all day and I was locked in on him and pretty much annihilated him by folding huge hands face up when I knew I got ****ed and then correctly calling huge river bets with J-high and ****. He has a lot of timing/hand movement/facial tells and some really strong tendencies, especially when he's tilting (he's one of the very few people I try to tilt at the table because it's so worth it on so many levels
)... He's also been beating poker for 27 years (he tells me this often) and many a young punk have gotten whacked by him heads up--> he has heart and is a good reader and loves short-handed. Anyways, he's stuck about 20 today and he's playing bipolar (aggro af but not really committing all the way to his lines/reps and ultimately shutting down a lot).
V2 just came over from 5-10 to double up his short-stack I presume...
Hero played very well all day (pats himself on back) but has lost his edge due to fatigue. He's about to leave after spewing off like 7k for no good reason (sometimes you can't stop yourself, like you tell yourself not to spew after each hand and then boom you are 4-betting K4o against a guy who just ain't folding
).
Hero (covers) completes the 40 from the sb with A
9
.
V2 (900) completes from the bb.
V1 (8kish) makes it 400 more (this sizing doesn't seem super strong).
Hero calls.
V2 tells the dealer he knew he was an unlucky dealer (
) and ultimately ships.
V1 snap slides out a tower of white- it's now 2940 total, with ~5k behind.
Hero?
