Dad's drunken SnG's, +$28

My father's insistence on showing up unannounced and playing SnGs on my account might have annoyed me if he didn't keep miraculously winning. The fact that he keeps letting me pocket the profits helps too.

I've decided that there is a time and place for positional looseness, preflop aggression, and high-percentage c-betting. Sometimes it's dependent on what particular opponents I'm playing, but for the most part I think it's best to tone it down at 50NL. I'm not having any problems playing tight and having my big hands paid off. In fact, it's surprisingly similar to 5NL and 10NL. If I happen to be at a table full of weak/tight nits (God forbid) then I'll loosen up and roll over them, and if I'm playing against loose call stations then I'm c-betting less and strolling through value town. I'm not going to deviate from my default nitty camper style unless someone at the table gives me a reason to.

I'm very close to my finishing this phase of my op, and part of me wanted to stay up a bit later and finish it off. But, well, I'm tired and a bit cranky. I don't think I'm in the right state of mind to play poker. It sucks because I'm missing out on the drunk tardfest that is Friday night at Stars. Oh well, I'll get 'em tomorrow. Tonight I'm just going to relax and perhaps think about how I want to approach Phase III.
