TAG micro play works. And today I was actually playing tight. Made a couple of late position steals but only with half-hands, not pure air. Generally it was solid hands pre-flop, solid hands postflop. Ground my way to about $14, then lost half my stack with top two against bottom set (again). Worked my way up to about $17, dropped $7 with top set on a dry board to a rivered flush. Clawed my ay back to $15 and left not long after.

Overall, I played well almost all of the time. Only one hand that I wasn't happy with. Check it out.

Pre-flop, I'm trying to keep my customers and hoping someone will raise for me. It doesn't happen, and I end up in a world of pain as everyone and his dog comes along for the ride. Flop isn't too horrible (no straights, no flushes or flush draws). Of course, there could be a two pair, but with the value the last button and the blinds are getting, any hand is worth a call so any flop could be two pair. I have to bet the flop, and then I reraise because I doubt he has a hand that beats mine, and I want to make him pay to hit his kicker. Probably better to raise preflop, though.

I know it's only one session, but I feel good about this. It's a win at least.
