Highwaytime Becomes "That Guy"

So I've been thinking about getting down to the Strip for some exciting live action no limit holdem poker, like the kind I saw on the TV...

But I'm having something of a problem, cause I placed my entire bankroll minus $500 or so online, and that cash is really for me to live off. My roll is on UltimateBet and Absolute, and the problem I'm having is that these sites have deposit bonuses that are voided if you withdraw funds before they're cleared. You clear them by playing a certain number of raked hands for enough money.

I'm thinking about just taking my $300 off Absolute and saying screw the bonus, cause their software is so ugly and they don't have many players, anyway. But I've been playing on UB and I have a good chunk on there now and I intend to clear that bitch. So my goal this week is to play there as much as I can so I can finally withdraw and put in some live hours later this month.

But it'll have to wait. Today I won't be playing cause I'm sick of waking up when the sun sets. It's 9 am here and I haven't gone to bed yet and don't intend to til late tonight, and I don't want to play sleep deprived. Plus there's the Sopranos tonight and I gotta watch that.

So last night I finally became, as The Gambling Duke likes to call him, "That Guy." I went onto a $50-max PLO table on UB and just ruined it inside of 10 hands with some really loose play, highlighted by this hand where I was up against two players who both had AAxx. My cold-call of the pre-flop reraise is laughable, but I had good enough equity in a three-way pot given the actual hands I was up against.

The very next hand one of the guys goes on monkey-tilt and reraises me when I pick up AAxx. Honest012 goes on a rant after I take him to the felt but I don't really know what he says cause UB turns obscenities into ***** in tablechat. I don't think he likes me, though.

Here I get bad-beat on another table when I'm a 7-3 favorite. Yeah, I know I have no pair but how do you call that with top-and-bottom pair in Pot Limit Omaha? If I could play against you every day, thelittleguy, I wouldn't have to work. Oh, wait...

Well, well, well....I see you quote the Duke, and do not reference the fact that he is the most intellectual mind that has ever graced the scene of a Poker table....you disgrace me, dish some more bad beats....or get the hell out of here!
