(note: graph is this month. I was playing NL25 but I dropped down to NL10 5700 hand mark I estimate.)

so after a very quick run at NL10 I picked up 10 buy-ins over 6 hours.
I then took my shot at NL25 after studying earlier and ran well. There was a supernova on one of my tables but he was a very solid TAG and I had position on him, so I chose to stay cause the rest were fishes. I clashed in about two hands with in and won both pots.
Then he proceeded to crush the rest of the table and got 200 bb deep (like me after stacking him once) so I decided I'd call it quits and end my session.

Here I'm going to post three hands and comment on them (something which I will try and do more of in the future, esp the ones where I lose).

Hand 3. This is where I stacked that NL25 Supernova. I can't believe he had balls to shove JJ into me with a queen showing, I was running a solid game and did not look spewy at all even!

Hand 2. Here I stack off with a PP+oesd against a 71/7~ fish or something like that.
I think essentially my hand is only an OESD because my set outs will not always be clean. In the future I think I will opt to just take the cheap draw instead and draw only to the straight.

Hand 1. This happens after hand 3 takes place (HH posted in weird order didn't feel like fixing it) and I think he's trying to make a move on me or something and he drops out after I 3 bet him on the flop.

I feel like I'm picking way better spots to cbet now and I'm really putting ranges on villains before doing so rather than just mindlessly cbetting 70% of flops without regard to texture. My non-sd winnings are a positive this session which is good. Before I became a thinking player my non-sd winnings were on a negative trend. So I feel a lot better about my game and hope to keep improving it and finally roll through NL25 and move up to NL50 this time

Also my cousin finally replied to me when I told him about the possible upcoming Swedish poker ban. He is not too worried with it and will only deal with it when it happens.
I do hope he comes back to the States soon, I feel I have so much to learn from him now by watching his sessions and possibly have him watch over mine and commenting. When I first saw him play, I was just introduced to poker and was amazed at just watching the hundreds and hundreds of dollars flying around his tables.

GL to the rest of you sick LP grinders!

The only hands a nit balances in his range are the nuts, the second nuts, and the third nuts.

Certainly the right mindset and now good discipline is paying off. Always nice to get rewarded when moving down in stakes to regroup.

With your AK holding after just stacking the Supernova, do you ever flat that check/raise with a less drawy board? You have position, and he seems intent upon making moves and playing for stacks. Just a thought.

stupid is as stupid does

Yes I would flat the c/r if board was not drawy to a flush and straight.
