Default Blah blah blah.

Blah blah blah 110BB slide blah blah blah sets kept getting cracked bitch bitch bitch called me down with nothing to hit their 2-outers moan moan moan kept beating me with dominated hands blah blah blah can't believe they kept beating me with their incredibly horribly sucky cards whine whine whine aces and kings never held up blah blah blah.

Point #1: Not proud of bleeding off the last 30BB to tilt. Thought I was beyond that now.

Point #2 is Poker Rule #82 from "Zen and the Art of Poker".

YOUR EDGE IS SMALL. Sad but true.

Grisgra,

Did you have a 175bb downswing like me last night? Have you had a 175 bb downswing twice in the last week like me?

In other words...shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Ever hear of the phrase "stop-loss"? Yikes.

This month has been incredibly swingy for me. Two -75BB slides, a -110BB slides, your standard -50BB slide here and there . . . and I'm still just above 2BB/100. So I can't rightfully complain, but DAMN I'd like a little more stability, please.

To be honest, I'm not as upset about the swings as I am about my tilt last night. I was doing it all -- LAGging, calling down with what I knew was the worst hand, just throwing up my hands and practically begging my opponents to take my money. Ugh. At least most of the slide stemmed from legitimately bad beats/bad cards, and not tilt.

Still, I should have stopped at -75BB down. That's my stop-loss, and now I remember why I try to follow that [censored] rule.

40 BB hit last night. I've identified my leak, I get way too aggressive when I go back to playing one or two tables after clearing a bonus whilst four tabling. Now, how am I going to correct it? Rhetorical question.

Well, you guys are making me feel a little better at least. My first 1300 hands at 5/10 6max I'm down 125BB. I'm having a hard time realizing that it's just part of the game.
