still sliding

i've played another 3k hands or so this week and am down another 1k or so. last saturday i played about 1.3k hands and came out down only $70 which felt like the biggest win of my life the way the deck was treating me.

then the other night i sat down and played was up for a while and running well until i ran QQ into AA pre for a buy-in vs a 65/50 player that was crazy donating and then i misread a guys stats and ended up pulling a pretty huge float/turn semi bluff 140bb deep and then realized the guy was the biggest nit ever and had 3-b pre, bet flop and bet turn. anyways, he tank called, i missed and finished the session down a little over a buy-in ($250ish)which felt like a huge loss.

last night i went through and freshened up my setup on ftp going back to the racetrack table, modding the background, reconfiguring my hud and starting over fresh; then lost $600+ by mostly running big pairs into bigger pairs.

so in going through hem i was kinda interested in how buy-ins this downswing was so far and was surprised when i figured out i am down 29 buy-ins over the last 2 months or so at 2/4 and 1/2. i never in my wildest dreams thought that it was possible to go on that big of a downer although i've heard a lot people say it's happened before. but, i guess on the bright side im not really that pissed off or frustrated like i imagined i would be if i took bath like this so thats good.

right now im contemplating on maybe messing around at lower stakes plo games or playing a couple tables of horse along with some mtt's just to get back to having pressure free fun. im also considering moving my roll to party or stars for a change of pace but i think i'll save radical changes like that for if i really hit rock bottom.

fwiw, br now at 11.3k + about $600 in rb.
