Deeper and deeper... way ... up?

I discovered the new deepstack tables at FT by accident today, buying in for 400 on a couple of my tables and then recognizing a pair of donkeys at each table that made them too profitable to leave. I'm nowhere near rolled enough for tables where I'm buying in for 400, but in terms of "taking a shot" it worked quite well:

What an idiot! First there's the donkish 2nd-limp-them-min-3bet line that NEVER is a good idea. He's announcing "I have aces" yet giving me perfect set mining odds, and then *stacking off* whnen I hit. My raise on the turn should announce to him that I'm pretty fucking serious here. I was almost scared to value bet on the river after he called, but hell, his preflop line seemed too strong for QQ. The value bet obviously paid off, of course, though he called so fast I groaned a little inside, thinking I'd been oversetted.

That hand, combined with one stone cold cooler (I had AA vs KK, smooth-called a 4bet pre with CRAI on the flop), and then hit AA against the *same player* who 4-bet me with QQ, and this time I decided to 5-bet all in pre with my AA. He called, which I think was a mistake. He has to get away from QQ here (I know I do), facing a $150 bet into a ~$125 pot, but possibly because I played the hand differently in virtually identical spots, maybe he thought I was getting cute with a lesser hand. Both hands were for full stacks.

Apart from those 3 hands I essentially broke even, winning just shy of $770 in just under 1200 hands. So far for the month I'm up $1100ish, and I'm basically out of my hole from the bad run at NL100. Another few days like today and we might be looking at a decent withdrawal at the end of the month!
