So, as amazing as winning $1.2 grand in 4 hours was yesterday, today started out almost the exact opposite. Whereas that averaged out to an hourly win rate of +$300/hr, today started out more along the lines of -$300/hr. No kidding, in the first hour, I'd either bluffed off, or called off, at least $300, playing 4 tables of 100NL.
No worries. Part of it was advertising, part of it was variance. Hey, I know what I'm doing now. Hunker down (only a little), and start hitting a few hands. I did just that, took down a big pot with a set of 10's, got lucky to hit a combo-draw on the river, called down a few bluffs, etc. Soon enough, that -$300 deficit was mostly gone.
And after 3 hours of solid, disciplined poker, I dug myself completely out of that early hole, and would up with a small profit (small = < $50, I know, I'm greedy). So, you have to know how to win big at times, but more importantly, is knowing how to grind it out, and play focused and disciplined poker even when you start off in a deep hole. Lesson learned, and applied.
Net total: +$2,976.85

This poker thing is alright.
