Heads up? Hell yes!

So I've got some good posting to do. Turns out theres' something on Stars that I never saw before. Insert Beer (best name ever) was kind enough to bring it to my attention that there are heads up tournaments on stars for micro stakes. And not only that, he was killing them, winning all six he played. Now I consider myself a pretty decent player, and I've really been working on my "Killer Poker" mentality, classifying opponnents and adjusting my game to take advantage of their style's specific weaknesses. I also consider myself wicked f***ing aggressive and figured I could run over the heads up games, basically leave people crying.

My bank wasn't very big at all, $25 or so. Right in that ballpark. So I sat myself at a heads up $2.00 + $0.20 hu sng. Winner gets $4 for a net gain of $1.80. Well I got sucked out on, and was feeling pretty damn unfulfilled. So I sat in another one...I won this time, and that was fun. I like winning money, but even better is to beat the guy. I beat you, I'm better than you, I'm awesome, you're not, blah blah blah, cuz I live for that. Speaking of, this isn't poker related, buttt my girlfriend kicked basically everyone's ass today at New Englad Collegiate Championships for swimming. She finished 5th in New England for the 100 Butterfly, and got the 2nd fastest time for the 100 Freestyle, but it was during a medly relay, so it doesn't count for that, but her team did get 6th overall which is cool.

But I digress....so I won the 2nd one, but that still left me negative, spending $4.40 on buyins and winning $4, so down $0.40. That meant I needed to play another, so I did, and I won. Then something happend. I just kept winning. I won the next 9 matches in a row in fact. Took a shot at the $5 + $0.25 heads up and lost the first, then won the next two. Then I stopped, cuz the roll still can't handle variance at that level, but I wanted to see how different it was. Answer: Not very.

When all the heads up to this point is tallied, I've played 3 $5.00 + $0.25 hu s&g's for a net profit of $4.25. I've also played 13 hus&g's for $2.00 + $0.20 for a net profit of $15.40. My record right now in heads up play is 13 wins and 3 losses. Not too shabby.

P.S. These are also earning me 1 FPP every time just like the 9 person sng's did, except they're faster and earning me wayyyyy more $$$.
