So recently I lost the rest of the money on my account, and have been trying to grind only a few dollars. I broke even for the day yesterday, suffering a handful of bad beats in some $1.20 45-person tourneys, then bouncing back to flop the nuts twice in a matter of 5 hands at .01/.02NL.
Then today I won 5th place in a $1.20 45-person for $4.00 then proceeded to sit down at a .01/.02NL with $2.50 (I know a lot of you suggest max buy-in, but that just doesn't make sense for me right now with only about $7 in my account). So I notice this guy who keeps pushing all in for the dollar in front of him. First time he got me to fold AKo, which really got me thinking. Here's what happened 2 hands later....

So now obviously I'm pretty pissed. I read the guy perfect and got rivered.
2 hands later I get AQs. I make my usual preflop raise to $.08, he asks "wanna try again?". I say nothing, expecting him to push anyways. He folds. Then after hand plays out and I win 74 cents, he says " if you had said yes i would have done it with 7-5". So now I'm thining if I play it right I can get my money back pretty easily. Next hand, JJ's in the BB, everyone folds to me. I make 1 cent. and the next hand......

Truly the worst I think I've evr run in .01/.02NL, but surely the dude stacking me every hand didn't help.
Anyone have a tissue?
(didn't convert perfectly so I had to do some editing, think it's all right now)
