After re-reading SSHE for the 3rd time and reading a BUNCH of posts here, I went to my daughters to work on her "new" house. While eating and taking breaks I thought about the various things I've read over the last month.

Tonight I sat down at gamegrid to get my last 5hrs in 4 tableing. Something clicked over the weekend. I was "on fire". For the first time I didn't feel confused playing limit. It made sense when to fold and when to call/raise. I've had winning sessions before, but I've never felt as comfortable at limit as I do at NL. Tonight was different.

So a big THANK YOU to Micro and 2+2.

if you ever want newfound appreciation for bottompair, play HU

thats good to here, though single day hotstreaks are quite common, and poker's longrun is very long .. so keep playing, reading and responding, and thinking about the game

thats the key to success

It wasn't the winning as much as it made sense. I have losing days at NL, but I'm still comfortable. This is the first time I've ever been comfortable playing limit. Winning when you aren't really sure you played it right is frustrating. Understanding when to call and when to lay it down (the same hand from the same position) makes for a much less frustrating game even if you are losing.

Yes, I'll be reading more. I might even post a hand solution or three.
