Well yesturday I was cold decked so naturally to balance that out I should have a killer day today no? Today I played ~1500 hands +$4382 preety good results. I'm happy with the way I played just about every hand except one, I called all in preflop with AKo for 150bb's... I had my reasons but I'm not sure if this was correct felt really marginal he ended up having KK and I failed to improve $1800 pot :/ Everything else is running smoothly I'm slowly perfecting my hypo-aggresive style I still make a lot of bad plays and have leaks to correct. I think I will continue to play 3/6 for the remainder of the month even though I currently have the bankroll for 5/10 but I'm making good money at these stakes + I feel I have a lot of work to do on my game. Besides 2-5k a day is not bad anyway. I'm not complaning I just try to aim very high never limiting myself.

There are other players who do move up stakes very fast using 20 buy in rule or something close to that. I do not do this, I think my slow route (100+ buy ins) is more safe and it enables me to collect a lot of usefull experience along the way. Had I moved to 5/10 playing tight-aggresive I would probably have never discovered this hypo-aggresive style and I would be winning marginally and be stressed out grinding against other tight players. Amazingly enough I'm still maintaining a double digit ptbb/100 which is good

If I can do this for a sample size of 50k+ hands I think that would be one hell of an accomplishment.

A couple of hands from today's session:

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us and as we let our own lights shine we unconsciously give other people permision to do the same
