Okay im one week in. Life has been good and so has poker to. since last friday ive gone for 7.67 PTBB/100 over a 1965 hands.

i can probably easily play more than the 5K hands I benchmarked but before i decide to change it ill make sure i actually make the mark.

Ok some big wins and losses.

Biggest loss besides the AA vs KK was this. i was new to the table but had seen opp do some silly stuff but i think still early and reads are poor that i should of let go.

Okay to wrap up. Ive put it down to playing alot tighter than usual. I dont raise KQ EP-MP plus i may just open fold AJ EP coz i find im OOP way to much postflop vs 1+ opp's. Position is so much more important than in SNG (or maybe evident) since stacks are so deep that the added implied odds of calling postflop make for some interesting calls by opp's.

When folded to me in SB im folding alot more vs certain opp's even A rag hands. with multiple limpers ill just cimplete with AQ down, in BB ill check AK sometimes too.

One part im think where i could be very predictable to player who think is i open limp 22-99 hands and call raises. predictable being that i dont do this limp/call with any other hands (sure LP limp with SC and multiple limp/callers but besides them).

Ok peace out and im having fun. BR $1880
