Table was starting to get extremely tight, and I'm getting tired of tossing my suited connectors and Axs because nobody in front of me entered the pot and the people after are pretty tight.

This is the second in a row that I raised.. trying to get someone to play back. MP1 is a recent arrival and MP2 is pretty loose but plays back when he's got a hand.

This doesn't hand doesn't qualify UTG for calling with a NUT low but based on his play he deserves an honorable mention (at least in my book [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] ).

I'd (obviously) already pegged this guy as a maniac. My table image is tight & by the book, which allowed me to fold the tilting CO (who claimed he folded an ace). Not quite the nut low since he did have a pair, but check out the action...

Downswings suck. That is all.

I love it when everything just falls into place. This is probably the biggest limit pot I've ever pulled in.

This was only 9 hands after I had quads. I was running hot last night. Now where's that month-long BB/100 challenge again?

So I've been hemorrhaging BBs recently. Was down 90 BBs, went on vacation for a week, came back, dropped a level, and was up and down to the tune of -100 more.

I SUCK!

I've been trying to figure out what's wrong, and have been posting a lot more responses, and reviewing my hand histories, and I think I have been playing scared.

I've also found some instances of misplaced aggression. (Probably when I thought I was being too weak...)

Since I pulled money OUT of my online bankroll and bought a new computer and PokerTracker just before the downswing started, it's pretty ugly.

I could technically play .25/.50 at the level my bankrolls at now, but I can't risk busting altogether. (It's not worth the fight with my poker-disapproving bf when I redeposit.) Plus I have no confidence left whatsoever.

So today I dropped down to .02/.04, and also played some $5 limit SNGs. (For some reason, I still do pretty well at those and I've been using them to break my downswing some. Without those it would be EVEN WORSE.)

AAARRRRGHHHHH! [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] I haven't played .02/.04...well, EVER. I started at .05/.10 originally. But I'm going to see how it goes. I was going to try a challenge, now I'm going to try a week at .02/.04, a week at .05/.1, and see where it goes from there.
