Well, this was my shortest session yet. And, I think it will be difficult for it to happen much quicker.

I had sat out and watched for 1 orbit prior to taking a hand. During the first orbit, I got to see first hand that the player two to my right was an ULTRA aggressive player and willing to put his money in in really bad spots.

Nothing special happened for the first few hands, and then I picked up A/A under the gun. I raise to .75 and get re-raised by a guy in late position. When hyper aggressive-boy calls in the middle, I decide to just smooth call to trap him for all his money on the flop as he has been over-betting the flops to take down some pots. My plan worked to perfection. We got all the money in on the flop. He’s in bad shape with only an inside straight draw, which of course hits on the turn. No biggie, I take it in stride. The guy who had re-raised preflop had K/K and was far more upset about the end result than I was. I just knew that since I had position on this guy, I would get my chips back from him shortly, assuming he stuck around. I was right. You can check out the comeback hand right here. (I love my overbet on the flop.)
