The power of power poker. Before watching Piers smacking people with bets the whole hand, I had been checking behind on the river on these hands and costing myself a ton of money. Now I always bet.

I was actually down about 35 early, then stuck with it. I have come to realize that playing this style, I will sometimes brick out (like I did early with unimproved aces losing to jacks and fours) or or run into a monster (like running kings up into a full house), but these players are soo passive (table was 53%/1%) that your losing hands dont cost all that much and you end up getting paid off with almost anything.
Back to studying. Got about 700 flashcards for the MPRE I have to go over, going to try to make it through half of them or so in the next hour to hour and a half.
