Today I was up 1 1/2 buyins after only playing about 90 minutes. I feel like I'm playing well once again. I have gotten plenty of sleep lately and I think it contributed to my solid play. I have also focused on separating my personal life from the poker tables and it helps a lot. Poker gives me a chance to get away from things and really focus on something I love. Anyway... I was on quite a hot streak of cards today and I played at some juicy tables but I don't feel like I should take all the credit away from my play. I would never have been ahead if I wasn't playing good poker. Now for a couple hand histories.....

This was one of the first hands I played... I decided right away that I would snatch up every pot I could...I wasn't about to be pushed around....

Here is a hand to prove I was running good....Thought I just got outdrawn...but...not so fast!

Later, a complete donk comes to my table raising nearly every pot. I catch a monster in my SB, his BB, I just shove LOL, my trick play confuses the donk and he calls (wow us micro-donks are ridiculous)
Poker Hand

Well none of those hands really displayed skill but more memorable hands.....I think there is more skill in picking spots and picking up small pots and getting the donks to pay you off on the big ones.. At least that's how it is at the micros...Well, that's all for now, hopefully I can post some more positive sessions soon....
