I've been running pretty weird lately. I had my BR up to about 1.3K and its gone down to 950 and now back up to 1.1K. I gave 6-tabling a shot on my 1280 x 1020 (whatever that res is) monitor. I was definitely able to handle it at 50NL, but I do tighten my game up a bit, which is probably a good thing.

Overpairs have been running bad lately, I've been stacked off probably 4 - 5 times by sets, and then I had one, maybe two KK vs AA situations. I also had a KK vs. AA where I flopped a set, KK vs. JJ AI pre with board of KQJxx.

One of the KK vs. AA hands sucked, there was a MP raiser, then a shorty called in CO, I 3bet it, MP cold calls, and shorty pushes for maybe 15 - 20BB more, so I push trying to get MP out, but he calls with AA and takes down both of us. Shorty had 99.

Got back a lot of that money with an AK hand. I 3bet a UTG raiser and MP caller from the button, both called. Flop was 3A5, I bet 2/3 pot, MP calls, turn another 5 and I shove it and MP calls with A2 and my hand holds.

I plan on putting in ~10 - 15K hands of 50NL in February and my money goal is $600-$800 depending on how many hands I play. If I play that much, I should make enough FPPs for that big iPod video. I'm going for the big one because its such a better value $250/20,000 vs. $350/26,000 and I've already got ~19 gigs of music, and I plan on loading DVDs, random videos, etc to watch when I'm running at the gym.

I've been doing some experimenting with floating people in position vs. raising them in position. Right now it seems like floating is better since 50NLers tend not to 2nd barrel, at least not as much as they do at 100NL. Here's a good example of where floating would've been better
