I continue to be entertained by the lesser developed life forms that inhabit the world of Rush NL5.
There were some standard swings during my last session. I had AA hold up against QQ and AK for a nice pot which nearly tripled my stack. After I bled some away I then gave up the entire balance to a guy who open shoved a huge stack with AK on a JJT flop. I didn't have too much trouble diagnosing what he had based on the preflop action - and no, I'm not laying down AA when I'm 95% sure the villain has AK or AQ - but there was nothing I could do about the standard Q on the river.
I do think that playing at this level is helping some aspects of my game. I've been getting better about betting to win pots, avoiding fancy plays and trying to trap every time I have a hand. I'm less attached to the play chips and that's the biggest factor. The practice might even offset some of the bad habits that develop from playing against people who fold way too much while simultaneously overplaying garbage far too often.
Good times.
Anyhow, since it's a holiday week I'm looking forward to getting in a few more hands. No goals, no challenges, no aspirations, just pure entertainment.
