Rolling steady

I have played a fair bit of heads up play recently, mainly on £0.50/£1 but I dabbled in $2/$5 and £1/£2 winning in both my short sessions at these stakes. I actually bust my roll a couple of times and had to re deposit, £500 in total but I have since withdrawn this again; so is the nature of playing heads up under-rolled.

One particularly sick session was in the early hours of Sunday morning, I had managed to get my roll back up to £200 and it was all in one room, then this guy who is a weak player came along and sat with £40 and basically busted me.... so I deposited £100 and lost it! Deposited another £100, lost this too. Now I was really pissed off cos I know I am a better player than this guy, so I did another £100 and that's when I turned it around and took his whole £400+ stack off him and then he reloaded and I won that too. Took about 2 hours in all but it was a great fun session and I'll be clocking up loads of rakeback! I have had a few lengthy heads up sessions usually managing to bank a win with each.

Last night there was a maniac playing in a 6 seater £0.50/£1 room, he had a big stack, much of that thanks to me. He liked to open raise for £17/£35 etc pre flop, and bet £20+ on the flop into pots of £3. Call all ins with A8 high on the turn drawing dead against a set of QQQ for £200+ pot etc etc, that sort of player - the sort I love :-) He stacked me for a full buy in with one hand where I raised to £8 pre with AK (not something I would usually do of course) the flop came down 10A10 and I bet and he raised and this was not unusual for him so I pushed and he called with 10 2 off, nh! I was £170 down in this room but I got my own back on him and so did everyone else in the room it was just a matter of time, I left the room on £325ish, I hope he comes back again! Also played 10 seater £1/£2 for a bit and won £22ish.
.
My current bank roll is £640 and my withdrawals have been £576. So I am up £1216 for the month which I guess is pretty good. I have yet to add this months rakeback to that and I still have a £50 monthly nuts bonus which is very nearly cleared. The month isn't over however so this number could go up or down quite a bit yet. Nevertheless £1216 so far this month is good stuff, I think I am playing very well at the moment, and loving the heads up cos without sounding too big headed, I feel I have an edge over some of the smaller stakes players there. Oh yeah I have 5 days off work starting Friday can't fucking wait!
