Damn it, why can't things just go smoothly. I've read about how people always start out bad when they move up. I move up to 5NL and things are going bad. Had to take a break. Stats so far:

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 532 hands and saw flop:
- 35 out of 72 times while in big blind (48%)
- 17 out of 68 times while in small blind (25%)
- 39 out of 392 times in other positions (9%)
- a total of 91 out of 532 (17%)
Pots won at showdown - 6 of 22 (27%)
Pots won without showdown - 33

Terrible. I see I am playing a little tighter, but not getting alot of good cards. Being patient. Down $7. Was playing 6 tables, but will drop to 4 for now. Will play until I hit 1K hands or drop 3 buy ins, whichever comes first (hopefully it is 1K hands).

The two hands that hurt my heart and forced my break.

When that 10 hit on the river I knew it hit someone. Shoulda c/c'd. The other guy had QJ. They weren't going anywhere after the turn so I didn't lose as much as I could have. Yeah, yeah, we all lose situations like this, it just sucks that it happens on day 1. Hopefully things are a little better after the break.
