Objective: to test my skills against NL100 players

Hypothesis: I am good enough

Procedure:
1) Log onto Pokerstars
2) Join NL100 tables with high VPIP
3) Play

Results:
1) +$300+ in my 1st session -- I was freaking lucky that night
2) -$250 in my 2nd session -- I made quite a few bad plays, but it was 2 suckouts against that accounted for the most of the losses

Discussion:

The 1st session featured 2 huge suckouts on my part:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/231118 AKh pretty sick for my opponent
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/231119 QQ I'm almost too embarrassed to collect the pot

Some good plays:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/231120 77 A c-bet here could have led to a check-raise and destroyed my chances
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/231121 JJ Set-over-set vs. a LP regular

And a bad turn call here:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/231122 JJ #@%*&^$@#^%*?[&#$%!

Hands from the less memorable session:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/232857 AK Suckout against #1. The guy was fed up with me 3-betting him preflop on another table -- OMG my big-chick was soooooooooted.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/232859 AA AsAh deserts me again -- although I don't think I would have folded JJ 3-handed on that board, either.

A hand to forget

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/232856 QQ WTF let's gamboooool (and then I lost)

2 modest winners

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/232860 JTs I was about to throw up when I saw the turn K. When he mucked at showdown it was obvious he had AQ
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/232861 77 no respect huh?

Conclusion:

Move back down to NL50 because
1) I don't see myself holding a significant edge
2) I didn't like the variance
