Just wondering if AHA! moments are common. I had one forced on me a few months ago when I couldn't get a deposit going on PS and was forced into tightening up to being a nit since my bankroll was dwindling.

Bankroll started going up, months of consecutive +ROI. +5 figures playing live.

AHA! Thinking you're being tight (19% VPiP) and being tight are 2 different animals.

Okay maybe it's not so much an AHA! as it is being forced into something and finding out it works - but you get the picture.

What's your story?

I've had a few of these moments. Most recently I read "$16 and hour blue print" at sngplanet.com. This was a few months ago. I've been doing well at $6.5 turbos since. Here is the link although I hope nobody else ever reads it. http://www.sitandgoplanet.com/16-per-hour-sng-formula.html

About 10 years ago I remember going to the public library and checked out Supersystem 1. I read the NL section and went to the bar where they played 50nl and I won about 250. Everyone was pissed b/c I was playing and raising 4 to 5$ every single hand. Soon after that I went to the casino to play 200nl and turned it into 1200 in about 6 hrs. I thought I was the best ever. About 6 or 7 months later everyone was into aggresion poker and my gig was up.

Delete that link, we don't want it being public knowledge!

Ive had a lot of those moments. And most of the times they have ended up costing me a lot. Cause they have just turned out to be wrong.

But one aha moment was when I started moving up in stakes and realised that there were lots of fish there as well.
