Comments:

First good results day in quite awhile. Probably uncoincidentally I also played better than I have in some time. Building on what I was talking about yesterday, I played a 13/8/2.5 today and made several great laydowns.

The best was bottom set on 467hh in a limped pot when a shorty fish potted, I raised, and the biggest nit in the world cold called. It got back to the shorty who pushed, and I folded 444. The nit snap called and showed 666. Not an amazingly hard fold in retrospect, but the kind of stuff that saves you a bundle in the long run.

I also did much better with pot control in marginal spots with overpairs and TPTK hands. Losing the bare minimum in several spots in big cooler situations such as AK on A83r, with villain showing 888.

I am running better and actually coolering some people myself and having hands hold up. It makes it a lot easier to play. And I've commented several times before on how much better I play when running good. The continual challenge is to do the same when running bad.

In any case, this 13/8/2ish nittier more passive approach is definitely the way I need to continue approaching the game at these low limits.
