Micro Limit Tables are Good, Mkay...

I've taken to playing the 0.05/0.10 NL tables on PokerStars to build my bankroll. I'm doing quite the bang-up job with it. I buy-in with $5 and see where it goes. I haven't left a table down yet. I'm up almost $13.85 (small sample size, worthless limits, but yes, more than 138BB in 61 hands) as I write this, and I've been protecting my hands and reading very well. I've lost two pots so far today at showdown, both times just out-kicked (AQ vs AK for one and J9 vs JT for the other), so my play is definitely improving (not that I was doing bad before, but now it's for real...).

I feel like my ring game play and my tournament play is getting stronger each time I play. I won a 10K+325 3-table SnG last night, so the play money stack keeps rising too. When I work up to $100 in bankroll, I'm going to buy into the 0.10/0.25 NL tables, and see where this crazy ride takes me. I also ordered Harrington on Hold'em, Volume 1 from Amazon.com, because I, like Action Dan, play a rather tight-aggressive style and I'd like to see where a guy who has not only won the big one (in '95), but who has made final table in the biggest WSOP's in history in back-to-back years, stands on how I play in tourney and ring games...I've heard some mutterings on the net about it--if anyone already owns the book, let me know how it is, as I've heard good things about it.

Mrs. PokerShark and I have plans tonight, and I'll be visiting my parents tomorrow, so updates will come when they come...
