Yes! Variance swings around my way and since I'm currenlty playing NL it's paying off!

My BR has shot up to $1400 now, so I've passed my month's target with $300 of bonus still to claim. I'm about 5% done with Poker Plex; and Sun still to do.

I'm running pretty hot at the moment (35BB/100 over 300 hands, so just waiting for the other shoe to drop).
Am clearing the bonus about as quickly on the $50NL 6-max tables as I was on the $1/2 tables, obviously more hands played per hour, even if I'm only comfortable 2-tabling at this level atm.

So things are going well.
Part of it is bad play by oppoonents, but still, doing very well despite some terrible play=variance.

Hand 1:
The river bet here was probably stupid. But at least he didn't re-raise anything too heavy.

Hand 2
I probably could have afforded to be a bit more aggressive here. Couldn't be sure my overcards were any good here...

Hand 3
My opp, a Swede, called me some very bad names (in Swedish) after this...
I wasn't too happy with my play either, but for different reasons. Can you really check this flop? Not sure if pushing to his turn re-raise is better. But it all got in in the end.
