Good run with good play

Hey guys, as you all know i'm participating in the take 2 promotion on fulltilt. So I have to play at least 2 tables at a time and earn one fulltilt point in the process. I have chosen to stick with 5c/10c 9-handed cash games as I find them to be more suitable for my bankroll and I am much more familiar with the lines that people take.

Today I was fortunate to actually get some premium hands such as JJ, KK, AKs and AA at some stage during play.

On one particular table I was lucky enough to be sitting beside a girl who used pre-actions. I would raise from the button and I guess she knew people made raises with all sorts of hands in position. What she didn't know was how to fight back, so she would call and then click check/fold if she didn't hit the flop. Sometimes she would call two bets and fold on the river. I extracted at least 2 dollars off her.

As everyone saw me raise in position, sometimes with decent hands and others with rags. I have a very loose image. People thought I was a loose maniac. I constantly raised in position, bullied the girl out of pots on dry flops, raised up to 4 blinds when there were limpers and no one showed much strength.

I was lucky to beat AK with my AKs. I know how rare this is but it has to happen at some stage. I also raised to 50c in early position with JJ, I got a single caller from late position. I hit a J on the flop for a set and I decide that I would underbet, I bet out only 40c into about $1.20 pot. The guy decides to re-raise me and makes it $1.50 to play. I pushed the rest of my stack in and he turned over QQ! Luck was on my side and I finished with quads against his pair.

So today I made $10 in less than half an hour. Good times. I've been buying in minimum purely because I'm just trying to get points. Also I get more action on these tables. When the average pot is about $2, it is a lot easier getting people to call your all in bets. Also by playing min, I create a totally different set of rules. Everyone has me covered, meaning there is always the possibility of doubling up. They don't have the correct odds to play connectors or other speculative hands against me. This way I can ignore possible straight draws more and refine my reads based on the strenght of their betting. I often raise 3-5 big blinds depending on how many players in the pot and my position on the table. As I only have about 9 big blinds, people know that if they want to play me, it'll most likely end up be playing for over 10 BB each time.
