Dream Session

I just had a great session.. only lasted 35 minutes and resulted in a 30+ BB upswing. I sat down and was dealt aces. I saw aces again, hit sets and the highlight of the session was here

Final Pot: 15.20 BB

I get weird when Im on a rush because I had getting carried away so Im always tempted to stop playing.. had I stopped playing here when I thought of it I would have missed out on a good 20 bbs. The table kind of fell apart because of how well I was doing so I get shorthanded.. bullied out the last 4 pots in a row and ended the session with a new bankroll high of $138.91

Tough go of it

I came out of the gate at .25/.50 well.. got up to $12 really early.. after that it was a 3 buy in downswing.. I kept my head about it and ground it out 1500 more hands and im finally up two buy ins again. I read some more in SSHE and Im just about ready to start rereading it. Its become very clear (since I started using PokerAce HUD) that my aggression is very low and I may have opened up too much FP.. I definately need to be raising about 4x as much hands preflop as I do so I started raising more suited A10 - AQ hands from middle to late position and 3 betting my strong starting hands that arent Aces preflop. I like where this is going.

Well Im off to a party so... game on
