The stuff that dreams are made of

Tulalip $1/$3

Hero: MP, $900. Playing aggressively, making moves, pushing the table around. Very much a LAG image. Even though when the big pots come up I almost always have the goods, people continue to think I'm just making moves on them.

Cut-Off: 1st time playing poker in a casino. Luck-boxed into a few medium-size pots. $240 (up from $100).

BB: Young kid. No read. Not involved in more than a couple pots over the last hour or so. Casual player. $180.

UTG raises to $12. I look down at 2 black aces, and I bump it to $35. CO calls. BB takes a few seconds, and announces all-in. Folds to me. It's spread-limit, so I know the betting is capped, but I still announce "All-In." Dealer tells me it's capped, so I say I call and am all-in blind before the flop. CO calls. Dealer pulls money in, and I put out $200 before the flop, CO pushes his chips into the pot.

I have no idea what the flop turn or river were. Nobody improved.

BB showed pocket deuces (?!); CO shows AhQd (?!?!).

Insanity. $180 with 22. $240 with AQ0. I love this game!!!
