2008 rocks. Well so far anyway. After toying with 200NL for only a few hands in December I have gone back to 100NL this month as my game still needs working on although I will still take the occasional shot. Playing at 200NL has kind of desensitised me a bit more from the money at 100NL so I now find myself doing more of the things I should be doing more of i.e. 2 barrelling, 3-betting, raising e.t.c.
Tonights session has been my best yet. Must be the new avatar! Caught some great hands and also discovered an awful player who I won several buy ins from tonight.
Here are some hands played against this 80/40/5 donk who would constantly reload after losing his stack. He also moved to a 200NL table later which I followed him to.

First hand against donk. I played it awful and was giving up on river until......
