Learn how to play poker.
Sub-goals:
1.) Play four tables, not twelve.
2.) Think critically about the game.
3.) Stop being a nit.
4.) Raise, bet and fold more often; call less often.
My first 10,000+ hands playing four tables...

Fun 5/10 hand1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:001970-01-01T00:00:00+01:001970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00http://pillars.liquidpoker.netpillarsSo I'm in Vegas until June 20th. I'll be playing a couple smaller NLHE events and maybe some of the larger events at the Venetian. In an attempt to 'minimize the variance' of the trip I'm also attempting to play a bunch of 5/10 NLHE cash. Today I played a short session and booked a small loss.
An amusing 5/10 hand:
UTG limp, I raise to 5x from MP w/ AJo, player in LP calls, blinds fold, UTG folds.
Flop is K72ss, I bet 3/5 pot, LP calls.
Turn is an offsuit 7, I bet 3/5 pot, LP calls.
River is an offsuit 5, I check, LP bets 1/2 pot, I make a ninja-call.
LP flips over AQhh and inadvertently owns me.
I enjoy the additional variables one has at one's disposal when playing live, but I hate the fact that 1.5 weeks of playing cash games and tournaments will be equivalent to playing 5-6 hours of online poker in terms of hands dealt.
