All right. Dropped down to 50NL, a strange experience. One of the reason I went quickly up to 100 NL about 8 months ago was that I had problems relating to the sums at 20 NL as money. Having a decent income I often found myself doing stupid calls based on the thought of 'sheesh, it's just 5 $ to call all in,I might get lucky'. As I started playing 100 NL I realized that any loss here would hurt my wallet more, so I tried to find out *how* to play instead of just getting lucky. Which lead me to FTR forums, amongst other learning tools. Anyhow, my first sessions in 50 NL started okayish, won plenty smaller pots where I used position to steal, but also got maybe a bit too cocky when some players easily let me roll over them, but others apparently saw through this and used it against me. After one questionable push (posted over in shorthanded) and one suckout where i flopped the set, but vill caught his kings set on the river I was down 120 bucks. Not the best of starts.

After that session I perused through the videos on this site and watched the ones dealing with SnG's and MTT's and suddenly got an urge to try that for a spell, dropping cash games for a few. Somehow BJaust and Ellipsesjeff managed to give me a new insight into these games and I decided to try them out. If it was just 'beginner's luck' or what I don't know, but yesterday I placed 18th of 500 in an 25 $MTT, netting 188 $ (one buyin only ), busted out of 2 others, won 3 $20 SnG's while busting out of 4, ending my bankroll for the day at 1710. Not too bad, but I spent a lot of time playing those tourneys, so it's not as profitable as cash games can be. But it was fun doing something other than cash since I've had problems there lately, gonna be tourneying today as well
