Last night, I made some easy money. There was a very aggressive player at the table, and I knew all I had to do was wait for a good hand and then turn the dial to 11 on him. On hand 17, I got dealt the best hole cards you can get (rockets), raised to $17,400 preflop, then went all in after the flop. My pair of aces won a hand worth $118,000, and my night was over early.
The thing you notice about aggressive players is that their stacks take really wild swings; the trick is to engage with them at just the right time. Sure, there's luck involved with picking the right time, but not as much luck as if you tried to equal their aggression. All you're trying to do is give yourself a high percentage chance of winning a single pot from them; you don't want to go toe to toe with them more than once.
During current Hold'em session you were dealt 18 hands and saw flop:
- 2 out of 2 times while in big blind (100%)
- 0 out of 3 times while in small blind (0%)
- 5 out of 13 times in other positions (38%)
- a total of 7 out of 18 (38%)
Pots won at showdown - 2 of 2 (100%)
Pots won without showdown - 1
delta: $77,900
balance: $2,462,092
