Saturday night +$270 at Ramsey's (PL) and Sunday +$16 at Junell's (NL). Both sets of results completely driven by a pocket baby pair (22 at Ramsey's and 55 at Junell's) that made a set. But it wasnt those hands so much as how they were set up:
When we started playing, I got a lot of pre-flop monsters (AK, QQ, 99, and AQ to name a few) that forced me to make big bets preflops, with some big bets on the flop. There was a lot of folding, which meant that nobody saw my monsters and they assumed I was playing loose. I took Caro's advice to not try to reverse people's perception of me, but to reinforce it. I showed some pretty bad hands to reinforce it and they made up their mind that I was a maniac. When I bet my sets, I had no problem getting a caller.
