Thanks guys. Well just finished my second session of the new push, and it wasn't great results wise - down about 6 buy ins. But I didn't tilt - and I did stop when I felt like a break which is progress. The hands I lost were a combination of bad beats and just my own stupid plays.. I thought it was weighted like 90/10 in favour of bad beats until I did this review and found there were alot more donk moves than I thought =(

Need to cut the donk moves out next session and just continue to put up with the bad beats I think hopefully it'll come good!

1. my 4 and a bit buy in pot bad beat =(
