A really good week. I have made good progress on both sites (despite the fact that I have played a lot less this week) and, more improtant, I am sure I know why I have made that progress!

I've been playing position a lot more effectively on both sites as per Sklansky (and just about everyone else you care to name). However the big difference has been on Pacific Poker. There the key has been table selection. Despite the fact that there are so many tables to choose from it is actually quite difficult to get seated at Pacific Poker. In the past I have tended to just move about from table to table until I find a spare seat and then start playing. However I realised that this was a mistake. I was missing out on the more "fishy" tables, with high percentages of players seeing the flop. So I decided to wait until I could get on a potentially fishy table and see if it made a difference.

Too right it did. In an hour I had restored my position to above 100 dollars (30+ on the session). I did find at this point that I got a bit over confident and made a couple of mistakes so that was the sign to get out. However there was no doubt about the lesson learned. Find the right table. It's not about "playing" its about "making money" and that is much more likely on a weak table.
