As some of you may know, I've been trying to build a bank roll from almost nothing. I had $2.25 in my account after coming back to full tilt (okay I'll be honest, $2.25 in rake back after tilting away the $15 I had when I came back). I'm now up to $20.08 after this last pot, but I've been shocked by how bad the play is at 2NL.
Now I will state upfront I'm sure many will find the way I played this to be horrible. In my defense my opponent had been EXTREMELY aggressive, raising big often and stealing blinds constantly. Given my opponents range and the fact that 79s is a hand I'm comfortable 3 betting such a player with pre flop I decided to just send a message that I wasn't going to have my blinds stolen. However after the flop I had a very strong gut feeling I had the best hand and so I bet it for value. When I saw the reraise I again had the strong feeling it was just a steal so I went all in to push her out. I was amazed that this girl actually called me with just over cards and even used extra time to consider it.
2NL at its finest...
