Cash Game Adventure

After the win, I've been dabbling with cash games again. I've been taking my time and just slowly getting back into the grind. Most of my lapse in play has been registering for school and hunting for a new job. I need to find something that has career advancement opportunities and something that actually challenges me and I enjoy doing. A job that I don't dread going to everyday.

The cash game grind has been pretty good so far. I've been playing 100 NL, and have had some good success so far. I've played 7 sessions and won 5 of them. The first session I lost a little and was really just trying to figure out what the big difference between 50 NL and 100 NL were. To be honest, just a little bit tighter, but not substantially. Usually when you get action, it's from a hand. That and I've been getting 3 bet a lot more. But nothing I can't deal with. For the most part, you just grind your hands and get the money in.

I've labeled some really big fish and keep looking to table select. I respect vizer02's game, but I did see a couple of plays that were really weird. He 5 bet shoved a somewhat tight player preflop with 910o and was up against KK. He got lucky and took it down. But my stats on the guy had a very small 3 bet percentage. So his range is pretty small. But that's poker.
