$10nl

1st session of the new year after taking a 10 day break, and im off to a solid start. I watched ElipseJeff's videos from his blog and felt like i picked up a few good points about position and not building big pots OOP or with weak TPTK/small overpairs.

I played one session of 400 hands tonight and ran insanely hot. 63ptBB/100 for a little over 5 buyins.

i was only up about $20 or so untill this guy i thought was pretty solid started tilting like whoa.

this is the first time ive ever really been able to take advantage of a tilter like this.



hand 1: after playing on the same table for about an hour he was playing solid. I had 3 bet him a few times in the last orbit and this hand comes up.

so i lost, but i got it in way ahead.

Hand 3: this next hand is what is bugging me still. I know AQ is still way ahead of his range here, but if i lose this flip, im back down to my original buy in. I called this after thinking about all the times i hear all of you cash game players say that you need to exploit even the smallest of edges.
