My car's in need of repairs, so I spent most of the day at home. Luckily for me, I decided to put in some hands at $1/$2 heads up.

I had a really, really good day and I feel like I played really, really well. Dropping down has helped my confidence a ton, since I feel I'm clearly better than the opponents I face, and I don't mind losing a buyin if I get caught doing something crazy.

There isn't a whole lot interesting to report handwise, although I did have a fun spot where after I check-raise bluffed a chronic minbetter on the turn and bet again on the river and showed four high after he folded, I stacked him two hands later when he called my river shove with the nut straight with... queen high.

I just feel like at these stakes I'm playing much more fearlessly, and not worrying about the variance really opens up my game and lets me run over my opponents. I'm hoping that I can keep this consistent. I won't make this much every day, but if I play this well, I have no doubt I'll show big consistent results.
