Poker in the Rear

Well I'm in rica right now and there's a casino in the hotel. They have 3 holdem tables spreading 1$/2$ NL cash games. That is way above my BR, so I figured I wouldn't get to play. But my stepdad decided to stake me cause he knows I play and wanted to see if I was any good... he mainly wanted me to lose so he could give me lots of shit.

He wouldn't do a full buyin but he put up $100. I took it and played very tight for about an hour and a half and turned it into $310. Was a nice feeling. A few times I had to work to think of the chips as just chips and not think about how much they were worth so that I wouldn't play scared. Was weird winning hands and making more off one pot than an entire long painful session at NL10.

Only played 4 hands voluntarily and like 3 hands outta the BB limping in. Trapped an aggressive guy w/ my Aces and doubled up on him, and won 2 other nice pots. It's weird playing live.... haven't done that in ages and only used to play live with close friends in home games. Still learning how to read people and keep on some sort of poker face, heh.
