movin' up

After bouncing around some over the weekend at .05/.10, and suffering an unfortunate beat where my Q10 was beat by K10, I decided to play with the big boys a bit -- dimes and quarters, baby, dimes and quarters! Once I hit .50/1.00 I think I can go pro...

Played VERY tight, was up a few bucks after a few orbits (up to $30 or so), when I find Ad5d UTG+1. I decide to see if I can get a cheap flop, so I limp in. And yes, in a cash game when I know my opponents will pay me off, I will limp with Ax soooted. +EV? Not sure yet, but if the table's limp-friendly I have no problem seeing lots of speculative flops.
