Some Changes

So last night in between sober and drunk poker (about a 5 hour middle time) I thought about playing a little tighter at the 22s. It seemed that these players will get it in way too wide regardless of my playing style/image. So far so good. I was 4-0 last night and have won my last 9 games today to make it 9-2 today. I'm playing a lot tighter overall but very aggressive in big pots. I am also making call downs with hands I would normally build pots with, it adds protection against these idiots and allows them to keep bluffing into me. Some examples of horrid play I've come into contact with are below. These hands are truly gross from villain's perspective. The first hand is the second hand of the match, nice PF call.

Regular HU players will notice my limping with less than 10bb. Very uncharacteristic for heads up play, but under the circumstances it was warranted.
