I like weekends
I took another short day at work tonight, so I decided to try and make good use of my time playing poker. Nothing really Earth-shattering went on at this session, so there's not a lot to go over lesson-wise. There was a waiting list when I first got to the casino, but after only a few minutes they opened up a new 1/2 NLHE table, so I plopped down and started my night.
I've decided I much prefer opening a table to joining a table already in progress. When a new table opens, with the buy-in cap, I'm never facing a big stack right off the bat. Not only that, but with all the people that buy in short, sometimes I am the big stack. ;) Also everyone is more or less new to each other, so that gives me license to open up a bit more and play a little more fast and loose than I do by default.
( A winning, if uninteresting, session... )
Peace out, everybody.

P.S.
Just one more thing I wanted to note from tonight. As I made my return to poker recently, I had also told myself that I was going to play more limit hold 'em in addition to my new no-limit ways, just to keep things varied and interesting and also hopefully to cut down on variance a smidge. I also, though, want to play at decent-ish stakes just so I know that the rake won't eat me alive. At the Trop tonight, they actually got around to spreading a Pink Game, the $7.50/$15 limit game that is by far my favorite limit game to play, and is spread all too rarely these days. I was just getting into my 1/2 game, though, when I heard the announcement, and I decided to skip it. Sad, since I don't get the chance to play that game much any more, but...well, I dunno. I think it was the right thing to do. Still...in retrospect, it feels a little strange that I didn't play it. Guess I really am changing a lot as a player.
