Three Weeks Later
Looks like I've been lax, y'all. I'm at work, listening to yet another boring telecon. So I'll spice things up a bit, post some hands and try to recall what I was thinking at the time.
God work has been killing me. Poker has been, too. Before I downloaded PokerTracker and PokerAceHUD (when I started to play online for REAL), I was about 75% into lifting weights/exercise, and 25% into playing poker. Now it's reversed. I'm playing better, b/c I have some more time and energy to devote to my hobby, but I don't think I can continue to do it at the cost of my health.
So goddamn jealous of the highschool / college kids that can just log 2k hands/day, 5 days a week. Gotta quit thinking like that, get back to multi-tabling at a comfortable level, and get to grinding.
I don't think I can multitable well on my laptop, and I've never really beaten $10NL, anyway. More success has been had against bad, thinking players at $25NL than bad, non-thinking players at $10NL. So do I multitable $10NL? play $5 Sngs? single table $25NL?
$100 bankroll. And I know what the math tells me to do, yes. But practically speaking....damn.
On to some hands.

I'm not exactly sure what I was thinking preflop. Villain is dead set on driving the blinds out. Terrible play on the flop to call the minraise.

I really didn't like this guy's open-limp pf, or his weak-ass steal raise on the flop, so I contested him, and failed to realize that he was strong. Should have raised his ass on the flop to find out where I was. Ended up misinterpreting his value bets. Fail.

Early position, with a set on a draw heavy board. Facing a minbet from the PF raisers, I checkraise and kill all my action. Too dangerous a board to squeeze more value from?
That might have to be enough for now. Sorry to be so brief, it's a real bitch trying to move files from work.
