Its hard to play NL5 when you used to play NL50, it just seems like monopoly money. I would suggest playing more tables if you think your ability is above this level. I play 4 tables and i know lots of other good players on here play more. When you are playing more tables you make less dumb moves (like that one with the AJo) cause you arent as bored. Then you can just play solid tight aggressive which i think is best for that level to build a bankroll.

Following MrSaucemans suggestion I have since added another table. I have refrained from doing this more recently as I tend to lose concentration and get through the hand not remembering the preflop action due to other tables popping up. Just played a short session and finished 4 buyins up.

598 hands
+ $21.08

The only difficult hand of the evening really, which cost me a buyin

Both Villains were fairly tight players, not sure if I could have played it differently.

Results in white below:
Hero has Qs Qc (full house, sixes full of queens).
Button has Kd Ks (full house, sixes full of kings).
SB has Jd Qh (full house, sixes full of jacks).
Outcome: Button wins $14.30. SB wins $4.13. Hero wins $0.35.

On your most recent hand, you wanna re-raise to $1 or $1.25 here, that's my play, flop is ok, turn i raise as well, you sorta ran into a big hang, but you could find out sooner that you're beat.
