The asses are being kicked, the names are being taken

Since my recent wins in PLO tournaments did some nice things to the bankroll, with my New Year's resolution not to donk it all off, I've decided to take a bit of time taking it easy, moving up to a Limit Hold 'em level that I'm still comfortable with (2-4) and not overwhelming myself by trying to play too many tables simultaneously. I really think that, more than anything, has been my problem. I've done well at 4 tabling at times, but my concentration just gets a little lax, and I lose any creativity in my play, as well as any ability to read my opponents. Playing 1 table is a little light for me, unless I'm otherwise distracted by something, since I get bored and start trying to make tilty plays, but 2 is just about right. It gives me enough space to make good decisions, but enough action to keep my brain engaged, as well as decent profitability at that.

So far the endeavor has worked out very nicely, with a good 100BB win or so in the past two days, and counting (yes, I'm playing as I blog). Up over $300 yesterday, and so far up well over $100 today, it's a tiny sample size but I don't feel like I've been running particularly hot. The competition has rather been BAD. I mean, very bad. Spectacularly bad. (Insert superlative adverb here) bad. I've been playing fairly snug poker with the occasional creative outburst, and it's worked to perfection, despite some real clunkers for beats. I'm going to stick around at this level for at least a few hundred more dollars, then maybe take a shot at 3/6.
