I read Ed Miller's Small Stakes hold' em over the weekend, and I have to say that it really helped get my mind on the right track about my game. Obviously the concepts and play was not that new to me, but it was good to read through the postflop play and understand why you should be raising or folding.

I had only few sessions over the past two days, but although I am only slightly better than break even, I feel as though I am playing better and making smarter plays. Part of the problem I was running into was cbetting against too many opponents, and the wrong opponents.

The other concept that was help to think about was trying to maximize your EV. EV is talked about ad nauseam, but I didn't totally get it as it related to preflop raising and getting callers. If you are 3betting AK and you get two callers of KQ and A5, you are making money in the long run even if a 5 or a Q hits (provided you get away from the hand)
