Hi again all,
So I played a session of 10NL today, consisting of around 500 hands total on 8 tables. I thought I played well, maximising value from my good hands, and not getting involved in big pots without big cards, which I feel is very important at micro stakes cash. I also got a bit of luck, which is always good. 
Overall, I ended the session after an hour up 3 buy-ins, bringing my total bankroll up to $605.
Below are links to some notable hands from the session:
Hand 1: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/354218
Standard all-in pre-flop action with the cowboys
Was surprised to see in the history that this guy stacked off with AK...although this is a common occurence in higher stakes, at this level very few people do this.
Hand 2: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/354346
VERY lucky here However, at micro cash, in a pot not re-raised pre-flop, I'm happy to go broke with an overpair, such as here. Not often at this level will players slowplay aces like this, so I'm happy with my play.
Hand 3: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/354222
Tricky hand. Here's the reasons why I called:
1. On the flop, I'm not worried about a 6 in a raised pot (apart from flopped quad 6s) I'm in position, and have a strong hand here.
2. After betting the same amount on the turn as the flop, I figure he isnt happy enough with his hand to up the bet, so I'm thinking he's holding either a weak pair (2s to 5s), or A7.
3. While the flush completes on the river, I'm pretty sure he wasnt betting on the draw. Also, after being called on both earlier streets, I figure here is the time for him to make a large pot-sized bet, or shove, if he has the cards (trip 6s, flush, 5). I cant see him making a 25% pot-size value bet on the river with any of these hands. I see it as a blocker bet, so I call.
Hand 4: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/354225
I'm thinking I probably should have checked behind on this river. 
Hand 5: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/354227
Value-towned his Top-Pair
Finally, I thought I'd let you know my plan for moving up to 25NL. I figure I will move up when my bankroll hits $625 (25x the buy-in), to allow myself some leeway if I run bad as soon as I start at 25NL. Hopefully in the next couple of days I can grow my roll to this level, and try out the next challenge.
Well, thanks for reading, and any comments on the above hands would be greatly appreciated.
Until next time, gl at the tables!
