Thanks flomo so far so good

I played yesterday and just concentrated on making the best descisions I could at the table - also I was speaking to others in IRC about what to do when you have position on limpers - and have since opened up my raising range behind them - which is working pretty well.

The buy ins are looking after themselves niceley, played 88 hands yesterday evening and averaged 55 bb/100 . Just finished another hour session 4 tabling and was about the same winrate. Not that I'm giving much attention to winrate while I'm playing for now, just nice to be moving the BR up for a change rather than down

I started my session today great but made a costly mistake - had a maniac at my table, he was raising with average hands alot and was raising very big. When he went all in and I was holding JJ's I called and stacked him he had 55s...

I made the mistake of wanting to get into more pots with him and widened my range (not intentionally didn't notice until I reviewed my hands!) - I ended up stacking off with AQ after he raised pre and I re-raised and he called and then we both hit Aces on the flop and he shoved but he had AK.

I need to remember that just because someones a maniac it doesn't mean they wont have any nuts hands.

Also the same guy cost me later - I raised with 10's UTG and got re-raised in MP. This maniac in CO shoved (150bb) I thought he's doing this with 55+ AJ+ so I shoved over the top 200bb - but got called by two behind me, the original 3better had KK's... I need to remember that when you have tagged a fish - just because you have his mark doesn't mean you can ignore the others at the table in an attempt to get into more pots with him.

After - that I decided to stop for a bit and just absorb that little bit of knowledge. Even after those I still ended the 1 hour at 55bb/100 so am pleased.

As long as I continue to make good descisions at the table and learn from my bad ones I think I'll be OK. The good thing with 2nl is you can afford to make mistakes to learn from and still end the session up, I've only played a couple of sessions with the strategy I outlined recently but so far it's the best I've played - so hopefully it'll continue!
