Played my best session yet yesterday. Got in against a guy who I at first considered to be the type of opponent that I wouldn't want to play. His stats just from hands that I'd seen seemed to show him as just wildly aggressive and a guy who generally would be hard to play against with little experience.
I decided to play him for a bit anyway, and was I ever glad I did. I ended up taking just over 3 buyins off of him. I was very surprised that he didn't quit me before he did. I posted the session on twoplustwo in their hand replayer - you can view it here in it's entirety -

The funny thing was, as much as I did end up stacking the guy a few times, there are still things that I could have done better. I went over them in pretty minute detail with the guys that I'm studying with right now and made a few tweaks to the way I'm thinking about things.
I've had very good results for my first week of heads' up - way better than what I ever could have expected. Now I just have to get some hands in. I'm up just under 6 buyins in less than a thousand hands - that is owning it pretty hard. Under normal circumstances, I'd tend to think that was not sustainable, but judging by the fact that I'm improving and tweaking things and getting better with every session I play, I really think I can do BETTER, and that's a pretty scary thought.
I want to really focus for the rest of the month and put in the work to improve. If I can do that and start building something meaningful and moving up in limits, I think this blog will become a whole lot more exciting in the months to come.
Here's hoping.
