Tight = +EV

Playing tighter on the ultra-low limit tables is paying off. Well, paying off in percentages, not necessarily monetarily. I have moved up 3 levels and am continuing to be successful. I even moved back over to Party last night and had a little luck. I will continue to move up as fast as my bankroll will allow and try not to let my reach exceed my grasp.

In short I am up about 30% over the past week and I owe it to simply to playing about 50% less hands. I am starting to also see why people play multiple tables. Folding so many hands can make for a very boring evening at times (I don't think I am quite ready for that).

The wife and I are hosting a Poker Party on the 13th, maybe my tighter play will keep me from splashing around as much as I have been lately and thus causing me to go out early. I remember when I was always in the top three at these parties, its been a while since I have even placed.

Thanks again to everyone who has made suggestions regarding the reading. The Sklansky/Malmuth book: Small Stakes Hold 'em: Winning Big with Expert Play has been a wealth of knowledge and I high;y recommend it to anyone just starting out - wait no I don't, I mean don't read this book... :)

See you on the $1/$2 tables or on the the 13th.
