Cruising along nicely and get dealt the dreadful Pocket Kongers against my maniac I've been waiting for:
KK: http://www.pokerhand.org/?931758 . Terrible flop for KK. I probably should have saved myself the $13.00 re-raise and moved on. His check on the turn was strange and I had no idea what to do, so I folded. This guy was like a 57/30 so he was all over the place. An ace, a flush, and a straight out there. He probably had all 3. LOL.
Then I get this hand which was kind of a gamble. I presumed I had 14 outs:
QJs: http://www.pokerhand.org/?931764 . 14 outs twice is +EV, so I pushed assuming he had overpair. My intention was to raise for free card, but he pushed back and we got it in. I wasn't expecting AJ which actually made the hand 60/40, but it was nice to hit for once. He called me a donk too. LOL. If I flop top pair and flush draw, I'll get it in everytime.

Erik,
One thing I noticed is that when I was winning at $25NL my att to steal blinds was higher. At $50NL I had dropped down to about 25%. This is too low. Ideal you want to be between 30 and 35%. What this means is if you are playing a 16/14 game you need to be raising almost any hand that is folded around to you on the button. The second leak I found was that my PFR was getting too far away from my VPIP. I was like 16/11. What starts to happen is you start to just smooth call PP in position and in the blinds. What I have been working on is 3 betting those hands more on players I think are raising marginal. You will not believe how many times guys fold and you take $2 or $1.75. These two things a long with less calling in marginal situations has got my VPIP at about 17 and my PFR around 15. 17/15 is verry solid at $50NL. I enjoy it a lot more than 16/11 as people start to play back at you more.
When my bankroll gets to $2800 I will be moving up to $100NL. Could be any day now really, but at the very least by April 15th. I should be getting about $250 back in rake and I have $430 yet to clear in bonuses on a couple of sites.
Best of luck!
Jon
