So I'm continuing to play solid, tight poker and I continue to get good results. I had another good session tonight.

With my tighter play, I am in fewer tough spots postflop and am still getting action on my big hands (perhaps because they're HUDs are still showing my old stats).

Downswings cause you to study yourself and identify your leaks. My laggy play should have been easy to identify, but I was stubborn and I thought it was OK. Deanglow's stat post showed me that, even at the higher stakes, tight is good. Also, talking to M2M and Muzzard showed me that there's no reason to play too laggy. Thanks to all of you.

However, with my tighter play, my aggression seemed to have gone down (and it was already quite low). I believe I probably should be raising a bit more postflop (something I rarely do). Also, my red line is tanking...but I don't really give a shit. Just a funny side effect of tighter play, I guess.

All in all, my confidence is creeping back and I am enthusiastic to hit the poker tables again. It's great how much help people I met through this site have helped. That's what makes FTR the best poker forum on the internet.

Enough sappy stuff...I'm outta here.

That's how winners play; we convince the other guy he's making all the right moves.
