Unstuck! And I love Aussies!

Today was the kind of day I really needed at the cash game tables.  It's been a LONG time since I had a decent/good winning day ... something like 2 weeks or so, which is a long dry spell for me.  I decided to drop to 50nl for the time being to get my game and mental state centered.  In addition to this I also cut down from my usual 9 tables down to 7.  It means less tables/VPPs per hour but means more mental capacity for the tables available.  So that whole experiment went real well ... I put in 1,652 hands at 50nl and came out +$281.67 which feels absolutely fantastic.  Seriously.  I feel like a weight has been totally lifted off my shoulders.

I ran into a guy from Sydney at the tables who turned out to be a real nice guy.  He was playing a 92/4/2 game which obviously is total fish mode ... only he kept hitting trips against my overpair two consecutive hands in a row!  Anyways I feel bad I kinda got into him for being a fish into God Mode but was a Team Fortress 2 player and recognized the reference so we started chatting and he was actually a good guy.  Aussies generally are ... my cousin in Brisbane being one!  Anyways he said he decided to chip dump to me, which is fine with me.  Here's the hand...

Awesome right?  Yeah, totally awesome.  I also had a hand with a bit of good fortune where my KK>AA with a river K, but at the same token, I had KK<AA AIPF as well today.  Anyways the confidence is growing and I definitely adjusted my game to be a lot more nitty (a lot!!) and that seemed to pay off especially for 50nl on a Sunday.  I'm going to spend a few more days at 50nl and see how it goes before taking a crack back at the old stomping grounds of 100nl.
