Played...wow nearly a 3hr session today (so much for work ).

Dropped pretty quickly to 1.5 buyins down, ran even for a bit then dropped a few more down to -700 down, came back at the end to finish nearly even. Felt like I ran so bad, but definately some bad calls in there. Like villains hitting 10% chances on rivers but I'd still call even though that was likely they're holding. Maybe a bit of FPS in there. I dunno, read some stuff in recent hands in SH forum about lines being super strong in some places and therefore not optimal so I play them slower, but seemed like every time I did either villains caught up or a card hit to kill my action.

One improvement was my biggest loss was $125, although in another sense that means I lost over $700 at one point there without being stacked. Think it was mainly runbad. Calling stations catching up, people who fold a lot always hitting v's me, stuff like that.

Meh, I dunno, I'm finding it really hard to objectively decide how much is me playing bad and how much is just running bad. I tried to record this session but forgot I was doing it and left the recorder going for 3.5 hrs so just cancelled it. Maybe another one later.

Halfway through a vid from Giggy where he's advocating learning LAG style when you start poker. 2 main reasons, 1 you'll make a lot of mistakes but you learn from your mistakes, and 2 its easier for a LAG to tighten up as an adjustment than it is for a TAG to loosen up (hit home with me). I'm tempted to drop back to 50nl and try to work on that for a while then work my way back up.

After today I've gotten through 2.5k hands this week so far. I really only expected to play maybe 5-8k hands total this month, so maybe I'll do better than I thought volume wise. Then again, I cant imagine slacking off and playing too many more 3hr sessions going forward.
