Deflated

Okay, I played another 3 hours this evening. Mostly chasing losses for the last hour. To say I lost would be an understatement. Down more than 6 buy-ins. Combined with earlier today that puts me down 12 buy-ins over the last 5 days. Pretty horrible. Quickly glancing over my hand histories, there are definitely some coolers (QQ vs. AA for 170bb, twice my A-high flush was river boated, and a handful of two and three outers)... however, I didn't play great. I played better than most donkeys there, but I still played bad. I know I made some dumb 3bet calls out of position, didn't take my image into account against a few opponents, and a host of other dumb things off the top of my head. Overall, I'm very upset at both how I'm running and how I'm playing. The plan for tomorrow at this point is to review my hand histories of the last few days (something I've neglected for the last 2-3 days) and watch a lot of instructional videos, maybe post some hands on 2+2, but take a break from actually playing. Christmas day I'm going to try to squeeze two 1.5-2 hour sessions into my schedule. I'll avoid going over two hours in either session, as well as stop playing if during any session I drop 3 buy-ins. At that point I will have 10K hands (one goal met, sadly the 5ptbb/100 is impossible at this point), and will be able to look over any confusing hands, try to find any consistent dumb plays, and see if I can find anything weird in my stats. I'll reevaluate from there.

And what you've all been waiting for.... epic fail:


If anyone wants me to post some specific hands, I can, but I don't want to turn this into a bad beat blog.
