confidence booster

so i made my triumphant return saturday and decided to play 3 shorter sessions of 200nl with each session being roughly 500 hands. 4 tabling this equates to just over an hour per session and helps to keep me focused while playing. i ended up playing only 2 sessions since i ran out of time and decided it was best for me to just book a win at this point.

my first session went well and i built up stacks on most of my tables before shutting down. i never checked HEM to see how much i was up or down because i think part of my problem sometimes with playing small sessions is that my results after each small session (whether it be positive or negative) seem to affect my session going forward.

my second session i felt once again that i was playing well and had a rather bad player on my right on most of my tables. i had pissed him off pretty badly by 3-betting him a lot and he was spewing to me pretty good.

anyways, i finished up the day with just over 1k hands played and close to $1.1k profits. that's the biggest day i've ever had at 200nl so im happy about it. after that i went over to the home game and went 2/2 winning both "sngs" we played which may be the greatest accomplishment of my life since i never win in the home game.

i think i've kind of had a "aha" moment after reading my coaches ebook and while i don't understand 100% of it yet (it's a lot of info to digest) i feel as though im on the right track with my game. a new version of his ebook comes out today with additional info added by cts which is sick so i hope to start going over that asap and keep cranking out results.
