Went down to about minus 1 1/2 buyins in cash games today - only a few hands namely took my there: One in which I called an all in for around 4/5ths the pot with a gutshot + flush draw on the turn :icon_geek:
Anyways Ive finally gotten the hang of cash games and though this is only one days' experience, I finally realized how to play vs. the donks to make constant money. Namely vs. the shortstacks.
I ended up bringing today back up to a positive profit, and felt good about it.
All my aces held today, and aside from the bad starting streak it was a good day. Here's my big hand of the day that really helped![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I just knew he had either a hand good enough to push with, or he really wanted to bluff me out, but that's why I slowplayed it - I wanted to make sure he pushed into me.
