Yeah, these thoughts are describing my play pretty much dead on. I played for six hours and didn't get very good cards but I played very patiently. In order to mix it up a little, I saw some cheaper flops in LP with speculative hands. Nothing really panned out but I still think it was correct. If nothing else, it was cheap and it showed the guys at the table that I wasn't folding EVERY hand.

It's funny that I got AA six hours in after I had been beaten down to $25. At least I got maximum value and doubled.

Do you guys know if there are NL games like this in many casino poker rooms? I live in a big city near a few poker rooms but I drove about 2 hours to this game to hang out with a friend who goes to school there. But this game was so juicy that I'd make the drive again. If I didn't have to, I'd stick around the city and play the same style.
