Absolutely murdered this guy at 10/20 heads up this afternoon. He was decent but overly loose and aggressive and did not adapt well to playing super-deep. As you’ll see, we had a very aggressive pre-flop dynamic going on, but it occurred almost exclusively on my button. The deeper we got, the more I kept pots small when I was out of position, since he was so willing to play big ones when I had the button. I won’t give a lot of commentary on each hand but you can get a general sense of how the game went.

He started off with a 150BB lead but it didnt’ last:

On the one hand that’s a scary river but for precisely that reason I felt obliged to call. I was playing my hand to induce a bluff so I can’t very well fold to a very aggressive opponent when the perfect bluff card hits.

The Boston Debate League had an even bigger day than I did, though, receiving a $35,000 check from the Boston Foundation. They are hands down the most prominent philanthropic foundation in the Boston area, so a grant from them is huge not only for the amount of money involved but because of the visibility and credibility that it will lend us with other members of the philanthropic community.

Now… to celebrate!

  1. Andrew,

    Congrats on the BDL grant and on your recent poker successes! You seem to be doing quite well in light of your recent blog posts. Hope you’re celebrating in style. I’m in Germany now and am enjoying the pre-Christmas festivities. Will be seeing some friends tomorrow in Frankfurt, looking forward very much to that.

    Greetings from the Rheinland!
    Michael
