Consequently, my last session ended down $0.05. I probably should have stopped anyway, as it was 261 hands. I was down the whole session and just kept getting angled by nobs.
The inspection wasn't so bad though. The first thing she said was, 'Sorry, did I wake you?'. I like the fact that it's not assumed that I'd be awake at half 3 in the afternoon. I thought it'd take longer. She said I have to clean my toilet bowl though. Eurgh.
Anyway, I must bring all my non-readers up to date. I've decided that I really can't be arsed to talk through every session anymore. I'm finally playing enough to call myself a poker player. Well I'm not but I'm playing more.
Firstly, I've made over $10 in November and I'm quite pleased about that. Presently, I'm up $11.31. Hopefully I'll be able to get over $20 by the end of the month. I was up $9.26 after my last post, but a $2.04 losing session hindered my progress. More of my sessions have been somewhat closer to break even as well and I think I'm getting closer to my true win-rate.
Here are a few hands I thought it worth mentioning, mainly for my entertainment.

Firstly, I like the way that UTG checked the nuts on the river here. Secondly, this hand had a good consequence. I was considerably tilted by it, being the nth time I was fourflushed (where n>5) in the session and I proceeded to steam call the next hand down.
