So rakeback isn't really helping here...

Running pretty well at 5/10.

you were not playing well at all when i played w/ you at absolute 10/20. tighten the screws a bit and im sure you'll do much better.

I had a 10-20 session like that once. It was surreal how fast you can lose so many hands. I dropped back down after that day and made about 700 back at 5-10.

I really haven't felt on my game for the past few days and I think it's shown in my big losses. I dont know what is wrong with me. I can't seem to make ANY right decisions. Every bluff runs into a made hand and I keep getting owned. My calldowns with ace high are always wrong.

Yeah, me too. Last weekend in fact. I agreed to play a guy heads up and lost $1k in the first half hour or so and quit. It was rough. The guy was a much better HU player than I expected from how he was playing at our fuller (maybe four or five handed) table.

I quit

It certainly seems like a good run is much less profitable than a bad run is detrimental. I started with $125 on July 1 and played mostly $5 sng's that month. I ended the month at approx $275. Played more $1/2 limit in August, finished that month at approx $475. Moved up to $3/6 limit and ended that month at $650. I wasn't figuring out how many hands I played back then, but calculated hours, which averaged approx 25 per month. During my first 4 days of October, I dropped all the way back down to $150. Everything I could do wrong, I did. Every bad break that could happen, also did. I guess tilt got me, which might explain why we can lose so quickly, but never seem to win at that same accelerated rate. Anyway, now I'm back up to $300, but I took some of the 2+2er's suggestions and am now playing .50/1 limit. I hope your luck turns around soon.
