Shrug; I was getting 7:1 on that call. "Surely," thinks I, "I can pick up two pair or a straight or flush draw for that price."

Anyway, yeah, recovering from some negative variance; see below post. Currently at $54.45, which is up about $8 on the day over 800ish hands. Again, generally happy with how I'm playing, been avoiding traps, etc, etc. The last few large pots I've lost that wouldn't happen in reverse have involved making mistakes raising on the flop for information (Usually, I make an incorrect read of weakness.) and I've got that fairly well nailed down. I think/hope.
