Re: Always lose money before I start winning during a session. Normal?
[ QUOTE ]
I am quite aware of the 'problem' and I try to be particularly cautious at the beginning of a session, but, without noticing any glaring mistakes in my play, I still lose some money initially.

My guess is that there's your problem.
Most sessions you should start out down a bit. A buyin or two is extreme. What I'm referring to is simply that you will not win most pots you enter so you will probably be down a bit before you win your first few pots and make up for blinds and other bets put in when your hand didn't hit. While you haven't given enough information to really say I would speculate that early you are too cautious, playing risk averse poker and folding when you should be calling or raising, and perhaps calling when you should be raising or else just plain not raising enough.
Post some hands in the appropriate NL forum, particularly those from early in the sessions. Look especially for hands where you fold on the turn or river or where you were considering raising but didn't.
welcome to the forums.
