Warning - I don't know if there's a point to this post or anything useful to learn here but I feel an urge to share my session. Its been a few months since I've played like this with any success so I guess it might just be a brag. If you have any thoughts on any of the hands lemme know.

This was a fun session. This is how I used to play 50NL and it was good. 100NL is harder for me to play like this, but I think I've been able to adjust a little more. I had a bad day the other day so I went down to 25NL and played like this and ended up doing good. I decided to play dwarfman's NL challenge except with lagginess and full buyins. I made it to 400NL before pussing out. It worked out really well for me that way because I wasn't scared of the money at any point until 400NL since it was all off $25.


I wish my poker site wasn't so stupid about the hand histories but it doesnt give hole cards and its on a stupid web based browser so it won't go back to the beginning of the session. A lot of these are pretty boring steals but it shows how often I was raising and showing this crap. Even on a $1 pot I showed my hands. After a while you can see how interesting it gets. I had to make a tough decision with those pocket jacks.

I was surprised that I got away with the J8o hand considering this was pretty far into the session and he was calling me down. I don't think I would have bet if he just checked. He probably would have won the pot that way. Either I got lucky (most likely) or my subconscious knew I had a chance to fold him based on the fact he was placing a blocking bet with a very weak hand.
