Yeah, I could have saved myself a bet or two on the river, especially if I had remembered the preflop 3 bet, but for whatever reason, I had AK or AQ, probably of clubs, stuck in my head. Live and learn.

In conclusion, $2/$4 is the new $0.50/$1.00. Thank goodness for multitabling. With a late comeback and some up tables, it was only a nominally losing session.
