made the switch back to 6 max, full ring is too robotic for my tastes and I have to share the fish with even more nits.
break even shot over 1k hands. been 4 tabling it.
today had a lot of fish on my table with good position but was pretty card dead.
the humongous jump in EV and my winnings were from this hand: + Show Spoiler +

hmm some thoughts on NL50:
-running not very well second session leading to a little tilt and some bad play, resulting in the break even run
-squeezing too much from watching better people do it. I won't get rid of it altogether, I think I was just too obsessed with doing it jumping up from NL25 but I will just pick better spots and not do it too often
-overall I feel very comfortable at NL50 and it seems like I see even more fish at these levels, so that's a very good thing.
also missed my first available Silver Star 100 FPP $20k earlier today cause I forgot about it.
I think I woke up 2 hours after it began but I'll try and play them from this next Saturday and on.
I have only 2204 VPPs needed until I clear my $150 bonus, so looking forward to that. Shouldn't take too long now that I am playing NL50. I think I calculated it to be around 9000 more hands so easily doable.
I also cashed out my Cake roll earlier today since my rakeback got posted for a good total of $2288 and spare change. I'm looking to keep all that money for personal expenses since my bank account has like a measly $100 to it. Haven't received the money as the cash out is still processing, but I'm really looking forward to it.

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