Played with an edge last night.
I don’t know what my deal was, but I was aggressive last night (aggressive for me anyway), and it didn’t hurt me too bad (bankroll went down 4.68% to be exact). I play 6-max tables, and I think I got tired of 1 or 2 people seemingly always having a monster every hand. Seemingly- meaning they bet like they have a monster, over and over again. I fired back a lot, which really diffuses an aggressive player who doesn’t have anything yet. I even noticed that a call of one of their big bets scares the crap out of them, rarely do they fire on the turn card once you’ve called their big flop bet. I was aggressive, but still played well, considering the mood I was in this was a good fold:

MP showed 6 6 (three of a kind, Sixes) and WON $6.74 (+$3.65 NET)
CO mucked 3 T and LOST (-$3.09 NET)
I’m a little surprised by the MP raise and call of my re-raise with his pocket 6’s, just a little though. I have no idea what CO was doing calling preflop and then getting all in with top pair weak kicker. (or is that top pair no kicker?)
