back to basics

i've logged 1600 hands at 50nl the last two days and am up 2 buy-ins. i've been happy with my play.

my stats are a pretty much the same as before. (17/12.5/4) im not sure why there is such a gap between my vpip and my pfr % but i'll pay some extra attention to that to make sure im not playing too passive pre. the total AF might be a little high as well but im not too concerned about it.

i might try some 100nl today, we'll see.

i've only been stacked twice so far at 50nl. here are the hands.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1194354 - not sure about this hand, im going to post it on cr forum and see what the opinion is there. villain in the hand very rarely cold calls but he is fairly donkish and is a calling station post flop. i had a bad feeling it was a set throughout the hand but im not sure how else i can play it since he could easily have AQ or AJ and i pretty sure he checks behind on the river with these hands if i check to him.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1197609 - im pretty sure i had this guy on tilt since 2 hands earlier i had flopped a set of 9's against his QQ. this hand im not sure i can get away from given the circumstances. my thinking at the time was to fold pre since he's tilting he's going to be looking for a chance to play back at me but the 9c8c is just so damn pretty i couldn't resist.

played a couple donkaments last nite with no success. i played the new fifty fifty on ftp ($50+5 buy-in, 50k guaranteed) and things were going ok until my AQ ran into QT that turned a T for 2p to send me out about 540th out of the 1000+ runners. i also played the 10pm $24 which i believe is a 26k guarantee but im not sure. nothing much happened in this tournament and i eventually pushed 9bb's from the CO w/ A8s and the button called w/QQ and i bricked a river on a 2458 board to get bounced around the middle of the pack.

im off work today so i hope to play a ton.
