Well, I was a little steamy after doing so poorly in the CT tournament. Not enough to change my play, or tilt, or anything, but I decided to play a little .10/.25. I now see why a lot of people play this limit to make money. People call EVERYTHING pre-flop. Here was a 3-hand stretch at a fast 9-man table.
This one was pretty lucky..
