Good fortune...

Finally had what I would consider a great session yesterday....After studying my play intensely on HEM I actually wrote out a strict plan...the plan was more of what not to do than anything else...I ended up winning back over half my bankroll that had been lost since I started playing NL cash games in one session! I know this has a bunch to do with catching the right cards when my opponents didn't, but I also found myself in much less trouble and decisions were much easier to make...the only real big hit I took during the session was calling an all in bet preflop where I had K-K and the bettor had 6-6...he hit 2 6's so there was nothing I could do...just wanted to say thanks to all you guys who replied to my posts and such getting my wheels turning in a different direction...without looking at the game in a different light I would be stuck playing live against the same 8 people and hating the internet action

Thanks again Pokerology!

Awesome!

HEM is a great tool. As for the KK vs 66, that's not a mistake. In HEM there's a column called "All-in EV" and for that hand you'll see what that play would win/lose in the long term..... so look at that rather than the result (note: that's just for all-in situations).

Congrats, Ed. Glad you feel your cash game is improving!

I hope by 3:00 today, however, that your tournament skills are degrading.

One would have to possess said skills in order for them to decline...

Well done Ed, glad to hear things are on the up

It just proves that a little work away from the table can be very worthwhile.
