Last period didn't go according to plan but it's all good.
I came to a new city to play and rented out an apartment for a month ( pretty expensive this time) but very cool too, it a gated apartment complex with pool, sauna , gym, it's fantastic.
Anyway a few project went decently. I got staked in a few 250 tourneys and in a 1K tournament too. I did min cash in the 1K. Very fun tournament, as soon as I sat down I instantly felt the competition being heavy, there were a lot of regs or played that played high stakes in general.
At one point a guy that I recognize that plays deep 5/10/20 cash games sits down to my right. I introduce myself and start talking about the games he plays , he recognizes me too because I played HU live against an aggressive guy that we'll call "Savage" ( picture Nick Air all but 2 times a bigger ball breaker and 4 times more aggressive).
He , the cash game regular that's to my right ( let's call him "HS"), opens from LJ, I have A5s and 3 bet him to 9 BBS , he calls.
I have around 40 BBS behind , he has 26 BBS... You can see where this is going...
Flop 932 rainbow : CK CK
Turn T: CK CK
River 7 : he leads all in 26 into 10 bbs, I start thinking heavily and I'm like :" Why the **** Is this guy going all in here?"
A flopped set wouldn't do this , it would sometimes lead flop, it would always lead turn at least, over pairs would play the same . A T would lead turn or bet river but not 2.6x pot. A straight is very unlikely , a flush is impossible to have.
I think more and then I call. He flips over

I say: " My kicker plays and push it forwards"
Ahahhahaha
He stares at the board for a while in disbelief.
Fist time I've ever said this:
"Sorry"
I was blind but now I see.
It's noon, I've been playing the whole night against "the Savage".
it was a 2/4 with optional 8 straddle game, I was in for 800. At one point I had a stack of 4K, at 11 AM I got stacked. I played a few hands, around 3-5, questionably. No huge mistakes, but they sure feel huge because I'm so underolled.
Then I got out and I didn't see my car, it got toed. OK, so that's - 200 euros more.
I'm up in this last trip 2200 euros in a week. Aaaaaaand I'm out.
I have my apartment for a few days more but I don't think I'll use all the days.
What I've learned is that I have a disadvantage versus "the Savage" and a lot of other people when we're playing deep. From now on when I'm 600-800 bb deep I'll just get up from the table.
The other thing I learned is that winning doesn't matter, improving does...
Let's improve !!!
Rise and goal chase m******aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!!

Hey man hyped for the new thread!
Yeah if you don't feel comfortable playing that deep rather leave. The very deep stacked strategy is different than what you might be used to at 100bb stacks and I would rather leave than punt deep and then be tilted for the rest of the day/month.
