Cards have been cold for about 13 hours of playtime lately. I have tried swapping tables, running multiple tables etc. Anything to get a swap in luck.

aokrongly said the hardest part of playing the 19 is sticking to them. I think his words were to the effect of "laser like focus" is needed.

That's really what seems to be the hard part. I have been losing for 2 days straight (other than an occasional pot here and there when I play the monsters, but that seems to be really all you play with those 19). Of course that's no big deal, but it has served to be a decent test of my focus. I have only slipped up maybe 2 or 3 times and made plays I shouldn't have, and most led to mistakes I shouldn't have made and knew better than to make.

The main issue I see is again, a lack of focus, I should have folded that shit when I knew I didn't have it.

I keep mulling over expanding my 19 hands but each time I watch what flops when I have folded KTs, T9s etc. I am reminded of why I shouldn't play that shit.

I think the biggest lesson I am learning right now is that when the cards are cold the 19 keeps me from getting raped playing rags. Yea, I am steadily losing cash of these last two days, but it's a slow leak compared to 3 or 4 massive loses chasing draws.

Either way, in the long run I feel I will definately benefit from this. I am trying to gain some experience with continuation bets, but gawd, I have to catch something worth betting first LOL.

Oh well, tomorrow is a different day, right?
