Back Online and Ca$hing so far

A friend transferred over $200 to my party account the other night and things have been going well. I eased back into playing online registering for a $11 - 30 player MTT, which I ended up cashing in at 5th place. I did'nt enjoy the fast moving - large blinds but thats how these low-buyin tourney's go I guess.

I then moved on to the 6-Handed $100 max with .50/1 NL blinds. I love this game as it is often played extremly tight and is easy to bluff/play aggressive and make money. After building it up to $300 or so I moved $150 over to $200 max 1/2 NL (6-handed) and this is where I am here to stay.

After logging off tonight I have ran my initial $200 into $600 playing this ring game. I really think I can turn a serious multi-thousand dollar profit online if I just focus, use good table selection, and don't tilt. Here is an example of a hand that I would have never called in the past but due to experience, focusing on the players, and betting patterns... I just grabbed my balls and called.

*That was easily my biggest call online with such a marginal hand. In the past I experimented with 3/6 and 5/10 limit but maybe 6-handed NL is my game. We shall see.

Nice play. I found the hand is easier to follow like this:
