TAKING A SHOT AND STILL BUST

First off, I'm working again and I hate it. Fuck jobs, they are so stupid. Working for minimum wage is even worse, and its one of the best jobs in my area.

No poker as I am still technically busto. I will be getting my rake back soon (a whole $127.00) and I plan on playing 2 tables of 50nl with it. I know this is not good bankroll management, but I am not looking at my rack back as the rejuvenation to my bankroll, just two buy in for my current limit. Although it would be nice to have one of the Green Plastic stories of a tiny original deposit ran into a huge bankroll.

Although I have not played 50nl enough to consider it "my current limit" I strongly believe that I will be able to beat the game for a decent winrate, and it would be nice to run hot as the devils balls and run that deposit up and not have to redeposit, but I am not counting on it. We all know how the swings of poker are, and as long as I get my money in with an edge, I will consider it a "win".

Something that I am going to be focusing on while playing 2 tables is going to be reading hands. I chat a lot with a friend about hands online, and I fell I have a good grip on ranges. I want to make sure that I am applying this knowledge on the go so that I can make more correct decisions when I am faced with a tough spot. I think when I am playing 10nl and 25nl I play more on autopilot and don't consider ranges to much unless I am faced with a tough spot. However that needs to change if I want to move up.

I read some post on 2p2 today that seemed to really inspire my mindset about the game. I really suggest reading them, they are great post and may help your mindset as well.
