Switching jobs between April to June. Which means I will have a chance to realize playing full-time poker for the entire month of May. Needless to say I am very excited about this challenge.
The bad thing is, I have been losing for 1 year, playing 50NL sparingly, perhaps 3 or 4 long 1k+ hand sessions per month. Lost about 1.5k. This after playing every day after school (before I graduated) for a 5-month stretch (Sep 07 - Feb 08) winning 15k at mostly NL100.
I decide I will 1) move back up 2) try to play better 3) post hands for advices 4) reinstall Pokertracker ASAP
Hands from tonight's sessions
1) Very common small-pot spot, I think flatting flop is a misplay, even against a loose player. Different line anyone?

2) Another common spot -- TT in BB vs a 50BBer LP opener preflop. I reraised an extra $4 because I wanted to avoid awkward stack sizes on the flop and commit myself while my hand is probably good (I didn't want to bet-fold suboptimal flops). Is this alright or is this thinking flawed?

3) This one bothers me a lot. Villain is a reg and probably on the passive side. But I have an overpair in a reraised pot......
