Time and NL Cash

Had no time to do anything this week :( Every time I thought I'd have a few hours to get a tourney in, something came up. I guess it's going to happen fairly regular; hard to block off 4-5hr periods every day, so I decided, since I'm subscribing to StoxPoker, to check out Ed Miller's 'Poker Made Simple' series for NL cash games. I love his writing and teaching style; clear and to the point which my muddled head appreciates :)

Have gotten four sessions in at .02/.05 (10 Max) for 663 hands. Played like a complete donkey in the first two sessions dropping 1 buy-in on one hand when I convinced myself the guy couldn't have what he represented. Played relatively better the next two sessions but still down a 1/2 buy-in because of my idiotic call (couldn't lay down KK on an Ace high, 3 suited board HU).

Grappling with lines to take against aggro's vs passives so have to go back over Ed's videos and quizzes. I also need to work on bluffing strategies; made two bluffs during the 4 sessions and picked the wrong spot/opp for both of them.

Everyone says the micro's can be beaten even if you're brain dead; we'll see.
