Ship Cake 30r

Went on a heater the last two days consisting almost entirely of the Cake 30r. Third on Monday, first yesterday. Nothing to feel bad about on the third on Monday, bustosoon was a big CL and was being very aggro and just catching ridiculous cards and was just running over the table. He then promptly finished second after catching some really bad breaks.

Yesterday got heads up with a player who was willing to be aggressive and make plays. He had, for instance, reraised on the flop and then showed Q high (I was so close to shoving that hand too). I like it. Started out outchipped a little more than 2:1, but got to use his aggressiveness against him here:

Cards help too. Clearly he just thought I was making a play here. If he has an A or 6 I go broke obviously, but I figured this was going to be a play a pretty good percentage of the time.

Won a couple other hands to build up 3:1 CL, then lost a flip. Back to work, aggro here:

A couple things: I felt like I'd bet the flop and shut it down on the turn a couple times. I also had very rarely raised OOP pre, content not to build big pots out of position with marginal hands. So I think by representing the turn I'm really representing big and have a good chance to take it away. Always nice when it works.

Hitting flops helps, hard to smack it much harder than this:

As always, I run good. Eventually he open shoved 500k with K high, I made the call with A high, and it held.

So it took about half the month to get going, but thanks to a ten day heater of about 14k over ten days I'm at about 12k for the month. Very solid. I'll take 12 every month no questions asked. Probably not too much play in me left this month, I feel like I've played a lot lately.
