final straw

played sparingly tonite just trying to have some fun with it. played 3 tables of 200nl and 1 table of 200ha (plo/plhe mix) which most of the time was hu. two beaut's in the plhe rounds have pretty much driven me to the edge of my patience. Q9 on Q96ccc3x board no good against A2cc and KK (no club) vs 9c9x on T743ccc board no good.

lost like 500ish on the 400 hand session. im done. going to grind 1c/2c stud h/l for the rest of my life as punishment for sucking.

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.
