warning: bad beats ahead.

played a short 350 hand session at lunch today and dropped $115. Standard stuff. I lost a full buyin in a 3-bet pot w/ AK vs 88 on an A8x board. I usually play AK TPTK in a 3-bet pot like its the nuts. whatever.

come home and sit down for a session. At this point my BR is at $2150, and i tell myself ill continue w/ 100nl until my BR gets below 1750, and to just ride out any neg. variance. I start out down 1/2 buyin or so, and this hand happens.
