Thought for the day:
"Professional poker players have almost super human discipline."

Today was the first day of the rebuild. I deposited $26 and have tried a variety of different games, my 'cold' session of 2nl was helped by my Omaha today.

I played 14, $1+0.20 9 man sngs. I don't ususally play sngs but with a starting BR of $26 I didn't feel very comfortable playing 2nl. I broke even over the 14, but I ran pretty bad so am fairly pleased with that. Up +$0.30

I played 831 hands of 2NL and ended up $1.37 down, again I'm not too phased by this as I was card dead for a long time, and didn't run particularly great. I did however fold QQ from MP when I was 3bet, and the 50bb short stack who had open limped UTG, shoved. The guy who had 3bet me called as I thought he would. I was pleased with this fold as I thought it was a coin flip at best, and I want to play for stacks when I think there's a good chance I'm ahead, not coin flipping.

The final session of the day was some 2nl Omaha I played two single table sessions for about 45 minutes each, and finished about $6 up.

Edit: I decided to play some more Omaha before I went to bed, It's 7am now and I've just finished. I was playing 2nl single tabling again. After 2-3 hours I've managed to win another $9. Which is really useful for the BR and I'm much happier about todays progress now.

I think I might need to start paying more attention to Omaha. I seem to have more of an edge at 2nl Omaha than I do 2nl Holdem. I want to do the whole FR grinding at NLH and eventually earn decent money at it but while I'm in the early stages of this OP especially during phase 1 ($20 - $100) Omaha is really providing a nice boost to the progress.

Yeah I'm pleased with how things are going are at the moment.
