So, I have a little extension on my mini-op.

Party saw fit to offer me a 20% up to $100, so I'm playing some $50NL there to clear it.

Which is good because today was a typical up and down affair.
After this morning's session I was up about $150 and that meant I was clearly up for my "mini-op" and things were looking good.

Then I had two terrible hands and suddenly I was down $100.

At the end of the day I was about -$70 on Crypto, but up $80 on Party, so technically a "good day".

(mini)Operation: Survive January
Hands to go: Approx 1200
Status since 22/1: -$80

So, still a chance of finishing up, but have to have a couple more good sessions.

It's time to try to re-evaluate. I've had a second nightmare month at $100NL. Is it time to move down? Go back to $50NL which I was comfortably beating (ok, over only 11k hands or so...) and build up some confidence?

But I'm not lacking in confidence. I feel I'm capable of playing this game, it's these one off pots that are killing me. Perhaps I'm playing too aggressively, perhaps I've just had some rotten luck. But still. I've got to ask the question.

And since part of the point of this thread is to be honest in my assessment I need to come clean about my lapses in bankroll sanity.

My BR has never been at stake, which is what BR management is about, but I took too many shots this month when things were going wrong.

As it stands I have lost $1120 this month; of which I've lost $300 at $200NL and $250 at £100NL.
So, almost half of my losses stem from playing those stakes. Which is just stupid; especially to have played the £100NL after the earlier losses.

Still, not the end of the world. Just Stooooopid.
