Back to the basics

...''Discipline''. Yes indeed, that's the word. This is almost what winning Hold'em is all about. If I had the iron will to play only the best hands before the flop, my bankroll could have grown at a rate of $15-20/hr. No matter, I'll eventually get there.

On the other hand, I find it disappointing to re-raise once a while. Displaying supremacy in excess might put your opponent on the defensive, causing an early fold. I have flushed my AA down the drain in this way a few times.
