Aaaaa-Game!

So incredibly happy with the way I just played my second and final session of the day on 10nl.
I really really focused and played some good poker. I looked at every hand I was involved in and gave it thorough thought, focusing on opponents. Indeed, I have started to use the "notes" facility more and more, which came in particularly useful for this hand. The villain was on 3 of my 6 tables and I had some pretty solid reads on him, I felt:

I was really happy with the way I played that. Further, I made a couple of epic value bets by over-betting the pot. Something that seems to confuse the crap out of people at this stake, so will bear that in mind. On two occasions two short stacks made similar moves and I called them off with an underpair and won. Was generally extremely pleased with the way I played.

I also think 6-tabling is my optimum. I earnt $17 in my hour this morning and I just earnt $21 in my hour just now. Seems to me that I can focus more keenly on 6 tables, make notes and play the opponent better.
Roll is now up to the $150 mark, I said I would withdraw but I may well leave it a bit, things are going well so why rock the boat.

Will post again later on my decision(s) regarding work, effectively gone full circle though. GL!
