Just played a little 1 hour session

Maybe not even. Just got back from picking my brother up at the airport though and was not tired yet. So I played 1 table of .50 NL. These are the high and low lights.

Ok. Highlight. This was the only real hand of value that I won (but I am winning more small pots and I know that is HUGE for my game.)

Hey, it is nice to get that river ever once in a while. Glad he paid off a little but I definately needed to bet more than pot. Left money there.

Bad - this is one those situations where in blind vs blind I figured the only hand that is beating me is if he was completing with pure junk that caught.

And here I think I just have to learn that if the suit does not come, that A on the flop is not good, and a weak kicker will kill you. (Wow, that sounds so simple just to type, must be an idiot.

So ended up almost 10 percent of a my buyin anyhow, but left money out there I think. And gave a little away. But that increased aggression and increasing my Raise based on the # of limper's is definitely paying the bills right now in terms of winning enough uncontested small pots. These are pots that I would never have even played for before and just checked away, or worse let someone get in cheap and kill me.
