$5 No-Limit Texas Hold'em

got tired of sitting around waiting for hands in the 1/2 game and took a big risk by putting alot of my bankroll on the line in this 2/5 game. i buyin for the table max $500 and am the short stack. but i picked up a couple good sized pocket pairs right off the bat and ended up doubling with KK on a 994Q board. i checkraised the turn and he called with i dunno what, but he missed and i win. played like a rock and just kept adding to my stack bit by bit. one hand i am proud of: raised in early position with AJs, which is a little loose for how i'd been playing, got called by a new player who bought in for $1500 and by the button, a player who was in for several buyins cuz he wasnt afraid to bluff in any spot. flop comes 2h8hQc. i totally miss and check, new guy checks, bluffer bets $40. right then, i decided that i was gonna win this pot, so i called to set up a bluff. to my surprise, new guy calls too. turn is Qd. check to bluffer, he bets $100. this is my spot. i checkraise to $350, which is a pretty good bit of my stack. new guy folds (whew!) and bluffer thinks about it before reluctantly folding. nice! but i think i may have had the best hand anyway with ace high. who knows but i'm not complaining. i'll take it and needed this one.
