This morning I had my one and only poker session during this three week poker playing break that I'm now 2/3 through. Played the FT RTR freeroll, busted near the bubble with m down to 6 after a messy tournament - my re-raise push with QJs from the button mis-read how likely the mid-stack 2.5bb raiser was to call and KT snapped to put me out.

I played 9 tables of 50nl at the same time - first time running HEM instead of PT3. Goal is to grind out 10 buy-ins at 50nl when I start playing again on 1st September, then move back up to 100nl. A few reasons:
1) I pulled out most of my roll and want to re-commence 100nl rolled deep again
2) I've done a lot of study, theorising, poker thinking - call it what you will! - and my game is a bunch different now. I want to test it at 50nl for a few thousand hands, in case I'm even leakier than before
3) I want to re-examine how 50nl plays, and how it compares to 100nl

anyway, the cash session went well and I felt like I was playing better than before - results orientated!!! it's always fun to go up 4 buyins in 1500 hands... Excited about properly testing my new game once September rolls around! I feel like my game is getting stronger - and I can still see loads of obvious areas with huge room for improvement. It would be nice to get good at this poker game - maybe in a year or two.

Next goal is to get my roll back to 10k, then pull out another 5k to savings and drop to 50nl to learn 6-max.
After that, I'll re-assess the 6-max vs Full-ring question and start the grind...
