Right on cue, the 3rd quarter bites me in the ass. I had back to back losing months. Last month (September) was on track to be a record setter. I peaked at $6k but the last two days I played I lost $904.32 on one day and $1302.98 on the last. Since I've selectively moved up to 2/5 6 max and 1/2 6 max, I've had mixed results. I've been up 4 or 5 buyins then down 4 or 5 buyins and then even again. I hate to fixate on it but my allin EV was pretty atrocious during those two losing months. My EV @ 2/5 is currently 4 or 5 buyins ahead of what has actually happened meaning I'm down 2k more than I should be. At 1/2 both full ring and 6max I'm down 3000k relative to allin EV - that's 15 buyins which seems unusually high. It's pretty irritating since, in theory, I could just as easily be UP 15 buyins more than I should be. Since I've moved up to 1/2 and then 2/5 over 100k hands I've NEVER been ahead of EV and ONLY BRIEFLY even. The funny thing about my almost record setting month was that before those last 2 days, I was finally running "right". When I was ahead I stayed ahead. When I was behind I stayed behind. I guess it'll even out in the long run, but it can be taxing to have that "not again" feeling over and over with things out of your control.
I started playing on Bovada again because Carbon is acting shady as hell. They aren't offering Bitcoin to everyone. They are limiting and banning some players. I finally got limited to 6 tables myself after avoiding it all for so long. I can only play 1 table on Bovada because my bankroll is limited but so far so good. I may also check out WPN since I have rakeback there.
Usually the games get better around this time of year. Hopefully I can string together a decent 4th quarter.
