Ugh... bad day....

Today I started out running amazing. I flopped quads vs. an opponent's AA, and stacked some other donk within 10 minutes of starting, and within an hour or so I was up 4 buy-ins. That trend did not continue however. I started losing a lot of small hands before getting sucked out on. I decided that was a good time to stop. Up $24 for the day.

This evening I was feeling a little tired, but I wanted to play more (and I had only been up like 7 hours after sleeping 8, so I shouldn't have been tired). I immediately started out playing badly and pretty much giving away a buy-in. Then variance really kicked in... after running hot for 3 days, the deck turned ice cold. Not only did everything either get cracked (AA x2, KK x1, QQ x1), but every other made hand seemed to be folded to without getting any money in. All my bluffs seemed to be getting called off as well. I won't pretened I played amazingly - I didn't - but the cards certainly didn't help matters. Oh well, enough rambling... a graph of just today (2000 hands!):


Pretty brutal, huh? Screwed up my graph of the month as well.


I'm in the red again, -$7.75, running at -0.57ptbb/100. However, without Friday, I'm still running at 5.55ptbb/100. That, while not fantastic, is pretty good consider how long it has been since I 've played (not to mention that the games have only gotten harder, or that the rake is significantly higher proportionatly that at any other level).

Any questions or words of encouragement are welcome.
