How about some positivity?

I’m gonna post some fun hands from today.  I actually ran quite well today.  I dropped down to $25NL yesterday for a little over 1000 hands and pretty much ran over every table I played.  It helped my confidence so much.  Even with getting my aces cracked AI preflop twice, I managed to win almost 4 buyins in those 1000-1100 hands.

One rakeback payment later and I’m back on the $50NL grind.  I did my best to bum hunt.  It wasn’t easy this afternoon, but I still did quite well.  I’m still down for the week, but today made up for a good portion of what I lost.  Hopefully it will continue tomorrow and I can surprise my backer (if he hasn’t read this by that time).
