A nice solid day on my day off from work. I played limit for the first time in a while and it was not pretty for the first bit. I was down about 12 BB within a half an hour after having a lot of things miss or get drawn out on. However, the rest of the session went quite well.
Here's the basic stats from PT:
3.98 Hours Played at 14.76 BB/hour and 28.97 BB/100
I'm taking a break now but I'll go through the HH and find some big hands.
As for SnG, I played 5 $2 normal SnGs and won one, placed second in one, and third in two more. The plays a little stronger on the slower tourneys but it's better for me as it doesn't turn into a pushfest by a half hour in.
The rolls now stand at:
Limit BR: $29.79 (up 58.8 BB)
SnG BR: $29.45 (up a little less than 5 buy-ins)
Total: $59.24
My next limit session I'll hopefully hit my first milestone of 50% of the way to .10/.20.

Enough said.
On some advice from ITH about trying to get a better rake structure I played some $2 + $0.25 SnG's tonight on FTP.
The first was a normal format, after handing out this bad beat. I took the tournament down for $9. On the second I played a turbo and went out third when I had my AA cracked by T9o.
I think I may stay at this level, but as always I'm looking for advice. I'm not going to hit the cash games until my day off Wed.
The roll stats:
Limit BR: $23.91 (same)
SnG BR: $28.10 (up 6.48 buy-ins at $1 and up 3.6 buy-ins at $2)
Total: $52.01
Yeah well, not a great night early. I played three $1 + $0.25 SnGs without much success. Out in 6th in one, and then out in 7th in the second.
Here's a hand that kind of summed up my night to that point:

CO showed Th Js
ey215 showed 6c 6s
BB showed Qh Qs
Ah, but blessed third SnG. It started fairly well and this is the hand that put us heads up. The beauty of this one is more than once I had folded after raising from the button when three handed. Probably a little weak on my part, but I thought it might come in handy and it sure did.
