Hi Dev. I get what you're saying. If I'm catching cards left and right, I'm definitely not going to limit myself to 15%. If I'm getting great cards in proper position, I'm playing them no doubt. Also, and this is just basic fundamentals, if it's folded to me on the button or the small blind, my hand range will open up a bit from the top 19-24 hands, but by no means does that mean I have to get adventurous.

For the past few weeks, my hand selection has been a little suspect and combined with questionable post-flop play and some horrific bad beats, my bankroll has suffered, making my goal of hitting $1K farther out of reach.

I am really going to limit myself to the top hands and grind it out. I will add more hands as I go on but only when I feel it's necessary and when I'm ready. Like my operation thread states - I'm starting over from square one. It's time to stop pussy-footin' around and get serious if I want to make a go at this.
