As the title states, not much progress to be had recently. I did play a couple single-table SNGs yesterday, winning the first and finishing 7th in the second. Oddly, I found the second to be much more educational, as I realized a mistake as I was making it:
I had raised preflop, and didn't catch anything on the flop. I made a c-bet and got one of the other two people to fold. The turn was no help either, and instead of checking, I made a pot-sized bet. My opponent snap-called, which was bad news (in hindsight). I made the same mistake when the river bricked, and shoved all-in to try to force a fold. It didn't work; again he snap called, and had me easily beat.
The lesson: you don't always have to defend your preflop raise.

I will probably play a bit more over the next couple days, but the next "test" is going to be Friday with the July SFPT tournament. I really need to focus on playing the math and not being afraid to lose. Also, I need to concentrate on knowing how much is in the pot and making my bets accordingly.
