464 hands of 8 x 25nl. Didn’t really feel like playing, but the television was being used so I couldn’t finish my WII Fit session.

EV was flat, only winning at 7.7 bb/100 as a result. And more nittiness; 10.5/7.0, and my preflop positional awareness is extreme to the point of being awful; 16.29! This is partially coming out of my swing to the direction of folding AQ and down from early; my early position UO PFR was 0.9, which makes any raises from other positions cause a huge preflop positional awareness bloating. Mind you, if I’m not getting cards in general, then early position is going to be affected most directly as I’m less likely to open up my early position play when cards aren’t coming. Or looking at it conversely, when cards aren’t coming I’m more likely to open up from later position rather than from early.

And I really need to work on my HUD. I’ve been using what I call a narrow configuration, but it takes up too much screen space. I need to figure out a configuration without abbreviations so that I can make the display much smaller. No special hands that I can recall, and I don’t have access to my hand histories at the moment. A few marginal calls and folds. No big lost pots, no great folds protecting against big lost pots, just two big pots from bad players which what kept me up for the session. I wonder if this is the purpose of playing 25nl; don’t spew, while trying to win occasional big pots from bad players?
