    Okay, thanks for the directions on that one. I'm still learning my way around the forum.

    Pardon my extending this one more post, but I think that I got something useful to me out of it.

    Quick Post Mortem:

    Looking back on the session, I'm noticing some strange things about it that haven't been happening previously.

    I failed to practice pot control against a paired board.

    I failed to practice pot control with two pairs under heavy betting. And I had no clue as to the tightness of my opponent.

    (Not previously mentioned: I had a AAAQQ full house with A-9 in the pocket, against a tilter, and I called in position, rather than raising the river, thinking that I had 4 other ace combinations out there that could beat me, but not thinking that a) my opponent only had a 4-5% chance of holding an A. b) I didn't even think if his previous betting indicated that he was holding a higher ace; and, most importantly c) I was taking the word of the players in the chat box that he was tilting.

    I changed one thing this session. I added one six-max table to my mix, from 3 to 4, and I started missing a LOT of details on all of the tables. I have been playing 3 six-max fairly successfully, and I had been playing 4 tables at 5NL, but they were all full-ring.

    So...back to three tables for me.
