Going to take a few shots and see if I can continue to run hot at 25NL HU and 6max.
Will keep you all updated...

+9 buy-ins.....
For the day, up 9 buy-ins at 10NL playing a whopping 2, yes only TWO tables, at a time. One 6max and one HU.
59bb/100 so far for the month at HU play. 37.75 bb/100 at 6max. How long can this heater last!?

I suggest everyone play HU....
Not even necessarily for making money but simply for learning how to read an opponent at a faster rate.
I've only played about 3600 hands of 10NL HU since returning to AP. While I've managed to crush it for nearly 55 bb/100, the affect it has had on my confidence in 6max is quite amazing. I've been able to adjust much much faster to my opponents. My reads have been much much more accurate. As a result, I've been able to adjust my cbets based on my perception of my opponent's range which leads to getting better more value when I'm ahead and limiting losses when I'm behind.
Combined with tourney results, rakeback, and reload bonus, I'm up about 9 times my initial buy-in from this past Sunday. I'm thinking I'm going to run the BR up to $1k before I jump to 25NL just for comfort sake. We'll see if I can be patient enough to work towards that goal.

Might as well toss in a deep run in a small tourney....
The bankroll is now in very good shape considering I only had $75 last Sunday....
Heater Continues....
Won another 5 buy-ins in about 2.5 hours yesterday playing a combo of HU and 6max (1 table of each is all!).
Had a very entertaining session where my opposition was overbetting every river in which he had a decent made hand. He got me a couple times with this move. He also coolered me pretty hardcore when his KT ousted my flopped straight by running out a better straight (I played it passively waiting for his massive overbet...which I got).
It was way past my bedtime and approaching ridiculousness but I knew I could get this guy if I could just get the opportunity. My read had really developed on him over the past 1.5 hours. But I eventually got him:
$0.05/$0.1 No Limit Holdem
2 players
Converted at weaktight.com
Stacks:
Pre-flop: ($0.15, 2 players) Hero is BTN
Hero raises to $0.20, BB raises to $0.60, Hero calls $0.40
Flop:
($1.20, 2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks
Turn:
($1.20, 2 players)
BB bets $1.20, Hero calls $1.20
River:
($3.60, 2 players)
BB goes all-in $27.06, Hero calls $27.06
Final Pot: $57.72
Hero shows:
BB shows:
Hero wins $57.22 ( won +$28.36 )
BB lost -$28.86
I timed down quite a bit thinking that perhaps my flush was beat by a better flush. But then I determined that if I'm going to play 24s then I better be damn well ready to commit to it if I hit my hand.
He insta-quit me after the chips were shoved my way.
