Commentary:
Well, the good part is that I've been getting a lot of hands in, the shitty part is I'm not winning.
I'm up 1.5 BI's since I restarted poker (16k hands), but I'm clearly not beating 10NL.
I originally deposited $500 into my PS account, with the main goal of starting at 25 NL. Since it's been so long since I played, I decided to grind 10 BI's at 10NL before starting 25NL...and after 16k hands, I STILL haven't done it yet.
Well, I'm not going to go back on my plan now, so I guess I'll just keep pushing 10 NL GROAN

I'd really like to hunt down any leaks I have though, because I know there's plenty of them.
1. Doing stupid stuff when I miss.
2. Learn how to play AK oop.
3. ??
So, I want to invest into improving my game. I'm currently using old school PT2, and old school Poker Ace HUD, and thought I may want to upgrade to HEM (3bet stats seem very useful). OR I could get a lesson with a teacher.
Suggestions?

Commentary:
Got 1k hands in on Sunday, and another 1k in today. I'm halfway to my $100 goal before moving to 25NL.
I've been playing pretty much exactly 1k hand sessions every morning. I'm starting to get into a little routine, and it's been working out well for me.
Met a tricky player FunnySmile who basically owned me for close to a buy-in over 5-10 hands. Instead of trying to muscle him around oop, I decided to cut my losses, and stand up from the table. This is NOT something my old self would do. But I figure: I'm 9-tabling, it's 10NL, why go through any unnecessary stress?
Had 5 90bb+ winners, and my biggest loss was for 50bb. Keeping my losses to a minimum has helped out a lot.

Had 300+ hands on this guy, was running ~17/17. Probably shoulda 3bet here.

Hand against the player I mentioned above BvB. Ownage.
+ Show Spoiler +
Had a read on this guy, but then I forgot to bet the flop for some reason.
+ Show Spoiler +
One of the few 2-barrell bluffs I've attempted. Why not try on a couple unknown, right? Stupid. ED: Well, I tagged him as a reg, so not COMPLETE unknown.

Little better results today. Lost a pretty big pot to a complete fucking retard, or else it would have been an excellent session. Won some pretty nice sized pots so it's all good.
Folded a couple of questionable ones, but I'm really not all that concerned with questionable folds. It's the calls that stick with me for a while.
