DQB is nice... esp when you double up!

Sorry for the lack of hand history posts that I'm sure you all have come to expect. Ever since my Windows went down and I switched over to a Mac, I don't have Pokertracker (though they are coming out with PT3 which is compatible with a Mac) so I can't really post analysis type hands since generally, I don't pick hands to post about during a session but rather, it happens during the review stages. So far, my 6 max results have been mixed... I was doing well last night but as I got caught up in the silly FullTilt promotion (silly because I'm a sucker), I noticed a severe drop off in my performance and started spewing chips like crazy... having said that, this certainly helped...

To be honest, that weird bet made me think he actually had a fairly big hand that he was trying to slow play on this fairly safe looking board. And since I've been fairly aggressive with fluctuating chip count, I felt that I could actually make some serious money if he in fact had like an overpair.

jeppg1111 stands up

I was aware of my image but I'm not even gonna try to say I played this right or anything. This guy played his hand horribly, got involved in a pot he had no business being in and made a bluff on the river that made no sense considering I only had $70 left and the pot was like $700... Only thing I fold is A high... And with all that action, how did he think I had nothing???
