Stars rewards aggression

Interesting day at the tables. Beer and I got a one day pass to cardrunners, and after watching all sorts of videos about TAG ABC play for low limits, I decided to get on and do it up. Sat at the $.01/$.02 tables, and just LOSTTTTTT. Couldn't stop. It was horrendous. It got to the point where I was down $18, almost 4 full buyins. Horrendous beats, truly gut-wrenching, and these made me decide to leave .01/.02 behind and go back to .02/.05 where I left off awhile ago.

Once there, I immediately got off to a good start. Just kept grinding chips off the table, taking down pots preflop, winning small pots on the flop, and avoiding any big pots really. I didn't get great cards, but I was up $8 with almost no resistance. Then this guy named "TheTableCpt" happend. Un-freakin-real player. This guy sucked like a vacuum, yet he sucked up money like one too. He slammed inside straights, backdoor flushes, two-outers, and I'm pretty sure at least one zero-outer, to just decimate the table. Very erratic play, and I still don't know what he was doing, but he won a lot this time. So he ended up cutting my profits down to a measly $0.25 for .02/.05.

So I took a break, then came back to the .05/.10 tables, still a $10nl limit. I squeezed out $6.50 over 60 quick hands there, and decided I was done with that level, as I for some reason have been killed at it in the past.

Still down a bit for the day, I wanted another go at the .01/.02 and I decided to do it my favorite way. LAG just one or two tables, use my reading, and just run the damn table over. All I can say is mission accomplished. In true LAG form I made people's eyes bleed, and they didn't know what I was doing ever. I got in 61 hands, and that's all I needed to decimate 3 seperate tables. Over those hands I had:

vpip: 60.5%, pfr: 51.2%, af: 9.00
went to sd: 50%
won at sd: 50%

Made back $9 in those hands, plus enough from other .01/.02 play to end the day down $1.32 there, which felt great after being down so far. With my other levels factored in, I actually made $5.50 which isn't bad. Added another buyin to the br.
