Pretty much hit the nail on the head there. I tend to get spewy at times, and even when I know I'm getting spewy, I still don't stop myself.

The books on my shelf are S/S, HOH, Power HE Strategy, Ace on the River, Theory of Poker, NLHE Theory/Practice, Read em Reap, etc and of course my own personal favorite - Hellmuth's Play Poker Like the Pros

I def need to brush up on the math factor, I'll admit that much. Is there any specific chapters or inserts from these books that you'd recommend paying extra attention to... (don't say everything, grrr).

Sure, it's not like I'm playing $50NL with only $200 in my account. I'm at $5NL now and since I have ZERO confidence in moving up anytime soon, I don't see even taking a shot at $10NL (sad I know) until I can trust myself and learn the game better. Whether that's the $300 or $500, it just depends on how I feel. Hopefully I'll be able to tell whether I'm running good or just getting lucky in spewy spots.

I think I'll look into getting PT3 here after next pay day. Probably the best thing for me right now, at least to plug my own leaks. I have no idea what most of the stats mean, so hopefully someone here could look over some session logs.

Thanks again
