Finally – playing poker again!

Alright ... so I'm finally back to playing some poker after a ridiculous 10 day hiatus. Between a much needed vacation trip to see my best friend and some family in Oklahoma, and working like a madman, I finally got in a quick 1 hr 4 table session at FullTilt Poker. The results were awesome!

Game: $25NL
Tables: 4 simultaneous
Profit: $19.49

Nice flipping result to have a whole buy in. I was very pleased with my play. Here's what I did right, and I think I have ChuckTs' videos to thank.

1. Didn't sweat going down early if I simply lost a hand.

2. Made sure I was ridiculously aware of position, and tried to steal A LOT more, and with more (I used to try with 3x BB and it was mixed results. This time I did 4x and it was successful TONS)

3. Was NOT afraid to 3-bet it if I had a decent hand in good position

4. Successfully got an AIPF with a guy that I think was doomed anyways, but got maximum value out of KK today without getting killed.

5. Made a good PF laydown of QQ .

Anyways tomorrow I am in for a GREAT LONG homegame session (4 to 5 hours!) and will be playing online tonight again if possible!
