A few big hands for me tonight
With help from forums like this, training videos, and going over a lot of hand histories - I've been starting to improve regularly. I've posted a few hands that I lost and wasn't really sure how to handle but I wanted to post a few hands in this thread where I got the villain for all he had:

I'm starting to gain confidence through volume as it's only a matter of time before you get into some really good pots and have a chance to increase your bankroll. The thing that I'm happy about with these hands are a) I won a nice sized pot and b) I was almost positive I had the nuts but I still wanted to get everything out of my villains...and I did.
Nothing major. Just some nanostakes wins that I wanted to show off. Hopefully I keep this up and can get out of .01/.02 soon. Want a $130+ bankroll before I move to 5NL.
Now back to posting hands where things didn't go well so I can keep learning from them.
