Well, continuous progress is good! I moved up to $50NL this weekend with a relatively good start IMO. Played 2 sessions for about 1K hands and $171 profit (16ptBB/100!) I played pretty tight at first while getting used to the bigger blinds, but Saturday night, I was feeling more comfortable already, and was able to keep the "red-line" in the positive for the whole session. More good things to come, my game is feeling pretty solid at the moment. plz no doomswitch k thx bai.

Best and worst hands of the week

Typical Set-under-set. I just lost a small chunk in the previous hand, and hadn't reloaded. Kinda glad I did! Villian was 15/5 over 100 hands or so, but I'm not laying this down for < 100BB without more of a read than that.

Villian running 36/10, and was quite aggressive. I figured by the time I actually had a hand against him, I'd run into the top of his range... luckily not...
