Grudge match. . .

I had an old friend over last night. We were just hanging out. I was in 2 stars 30 games - up a fair amount - like $2500-$3k. Then I sit in a short stud8 game and immediately get sucked out, brick, lose, what have you for like 4 or 5 hands in a row. Then this guy I really dislike, and a guy who has run well against me in the past, showed me a bluff when I folded the river in a big pot. He capped 3rd street and 4th street, so when he raised fifth I put him on a big pair instead of a low draw on 3rd because he caught two bricks. (well this was not an exact thought process obv., but this was a strong possibility. . .) I had a pair of 44s. Anyways, he shows a pair of 22s only after I folded the river. Game on. My bud went to the store. I asked him to pick up a pack of smokes for me. He comes back with Marlboro Red 100s. . .waaaaaa? Bad omen? I was even again, and it was getting heated. I received the following email. . .

After I was up about 4k on him, I bluff-raised the river with king high. He folded, so naturally I showed him. About a minute later I won a $1700 pot, and he paid off my river 3 bet with jacks up. He was so tilted it was great. I felt like the big brother that holds his younger brother's head while he keeps swinging away at the air in front of him. I ended the night up about 8k. Grudge matches are fun to win. . .
