Yesterday was a pretty damn tilting poker day!

Played a couple cash sessions and was getting just EV rocked and variance in general was mocking me. Ended up down about $3.8k, and this downswing just doesn't want to end. Was about $2.3k under EV as well, which doesn't help.

Then I grinded a betfair freeroll. About 200 entrants and only top two places pay out, $5.7k each. I pretty much never play tourneys. Alex and I both had chip leads starting with about 20 or so people left and rode it out to top three. I had the third place person all-in on 3 different occasions with the best hand, and he spiked each time. I'd eventually go out to Alex's QJs vs my 77, to a fitting J river. Donkaments are tiltinggggg.. especially bubbling them.

Every session I play I'm very happy with 97% of my play, but not happy with about 2-3 hands. Sadly, those 2-3 hands are generally avoidable stackoffs which end up making a big difference. One was a very questionable call of a 4bet (after 3betting a guy a ton, and him finally 4betting when stacks were somewhat deepish - with KJs - and stacking post). The other was 5bet shoving 99 vs Alex after he iso'd a limper to 4x on the button. I'm sure I had one more hand too, which adds up to about $1k-$1200 of my $3.7k in losses. Not insignificant, and is a consistent theme that needs to be fixed!

In the red for the second month in a row now. Hoping this run bad ends soon. When I was running hot I was "feeling bad" about it. Remind me not to do that anymore!
