I started the morning off entering alot of tournaments, which didn't pan out well when I lost all my buy-ins without any cashes.

After starting down around $100, I decided I was ready to move up to NL50 and start grinding there again.

The day started off bad, as I lost 2 more buy-ins hella fast. Things eventually turned for the better though, and I picked up what I lost and then a little bit. ($100 Tourney fee's + $100 start of session)

I finished the day up 1 buy-in, as I was coolered on the last hand of the night to take me from up 1.5 buy-ins.

I'm feeling very comfortable on NL50, and plan to stay here at NL50 for the next few months. I hope to advance to NL100 when my BR hits 5k.

Key hands I played today;

vs Jabba_Rules - I raise my AA from the blinds and pick up a caller on the button, figure him for a pocket pair or strong sooted hand. Flop comes 338, I cont bet and get minraised. Right now I'm figuring him for top pair which has 2 outs to beat me or a pocket pair, which has two outs. So I flat and give him a chance to hang himself on the turn, figuring if I bet he will instafold. He checks behind, and I trap a little more on the river. He does what I hope and donkbets small to get value from any AK/AQ and I repop him something that could be a bluff (6x reraise).

vs debaggage87 - limp my 22 behind an open minraiser and get reraised from the button. I'm priced in so I come along. Flop my dream flop and work on getting Wannie37's money since hes deeper and conceal the strength of my hand. debagge87 will have none of it though and repops to get all the money in. I beat him in w/ my set and he rivers a boat with Q3. sick.

vs articcats - I haven't played with artic before this hand but had watched him play a little before this hand and had him figured as a TAG pla<x>yer. He limp reraises me PF which sends alarms off in my head that he probably has AA, but I call anyways for set value and incase he has AK/smaller pair. On the flop he bets very weak and I call, still suspecting he could have AA. On the turn he open shoves when a queen hits. At first, it looks like theres nothing I can beat, cuz if he had TT-AA, I only beat JJ, but I scroll through the hand histories and see him raising the last pot, and he was involved in the pot before this. With this now added to the equation I make the hero call with KK to beat his AT.

vs Cardhu24 - Limp in my small PP and get raised by an OOP pla<x>yer. He makes a very stiff raise but gives me appropriate set odds so I come along. I'm quite sure he has an overpair here when I spike my set, so I reraise strong trying to rep a jack that doesn't believe his cont bet / other pp. He instantly ships the chips and I call to beat his AA with my set.

vs Kenann - This was such a beautiful christmas present.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/258783

vs DJPushyplay and evilganz - I call the minraise PF with AT oop w/ good odds with alot of pla<x>yers. I flop the ace high FD and face a donkbet and reraise. I reraise lightly trying to represent a very strong hand and get reshoved by both pla<x>yers. At this point I have 30% of my stack in there and 2 fullstacks allin w/ the Ahi FD. I'm inclined to call and don't catch a heart, whoops.

i keep the session stats for myself to compare my results to the style that I am currently playing.

Yeah, I've played through the limits up to NL200 a couple times, and hit some brick walls and had poor BR management up until this go around.

I've had some long talks with DooMeR / Nolan and Radiohead about bankroll management since then though and plan to do things correctly this time around.

I'm playing on a super fat roll for each limit and I stopped taking "shots", and started dominating where I am most confident and comfortable
