The Grind

Well Im just over 2k hands into .5/1 and its proving to be the most challenging level to date (not surprisingly). Im keeping my head above water but the style of play is different. I really really need to tune up the aggression. Anywho heres a hand that was just too good not to document

Ive won bigger pots BB was online but its really nice when 1 BB = $1. Anyway I need to hit the forums and formulate a plan of attack. This session Im just wrapping up I did more 3 betting then usual to isolate. Winning helps of course.
