Background:

So I was out of playing poker on a regular basis for quite a while like 6 months or so, started messing around a while ago on whatever I had left in my account playing NL10 on UB, got a friend to transfer a bunch of money to my account so I could make a deposit on FT for their $600 deposit bonus. Finally have time again that I can actually play at least some poker every day, decided it would be good for my game and to get back in the swing of things if I worked my way back up instead of borrowing a stake up front. So played the NL10 on FT for a bit, account surpassed $500 yesterday and although I’m still working out some stuff with my game (Now playing 6 max only, used to be a FR player) I was beating NL10 for like 12.5PTBB/100 over the 5k hands I played and I was eager to move up to NL25 because this god awful FT bonus is evil to clear, probably will have to get up to like NL100 before I even have a chance of finishing it. So anyway, get home from class around 10 and decide to play my first session above NL10 in a loooong time. This ensues. As you can see, I am now crushing this game for a sold 0.44PTBB/100. My heart hurts.

So in summary, I am a complete tool and was pretty well behind in both hands when the money went in (read: drawing dead in the first hand), and still managed to make a "profit" on the session. Unfortunately I had idiot reads on both the guys and there was no way I was playing the first hand any different and probably the only thing I would do different in retrospect is just call the turn min-raise in the second hand? Hope it gets better from here.[/img]
