anyways, the good news is there are 3 fish to my right with a total of 700bb..... and i stick around thinking maybe something will go my way ...... but i was wrong.....

i go up to about 250bb and am just waiting for my chance to shove deep to make up for all the coolers.... but i get a couple mini-coolers instead

then a new fish joins the table and takes FOREVER to play.... this guy slows the table waaaay down and everyone, including the 3 fish with 700bb get up and leave.

so there i sit, 4 buy ins down, with this arsssehole that drove all the fish away and then to cap off the session .. this happens,,,,

so... earlier in the year i took a shot at 100NL.... i started with a heater... up 12 buyins or something then 18 down with a stretch of coolers. that was in FEB i think and it was enough to send me crying back to 25nl...

so here in MAY, i took another shot, and started up 6 buy ins, then tonight lost all 6.

anyways, some of the hands tonight, especially the last hand (TT) proves to me that 100NL just tilts me too much,,,, so im purging 100nl hands and going to try and forget about it and pack my bags... im going back to 25/50 again.

im happy about it though, i only lost what i gained .... but frankly i cant handle the coolers at 100nl obvioulsy... it tilts me so the heck with it,,, ill keep smashing 25/50nl and take another shot later in the year maybe


seriously though, i know all about coolers and I know sh!t happens, these sessions are inevitable....

so, just for my own reference..... the reason i am saying the hell with 100NL is because I clearly cannot stick to my A-game. If tonight would have been at the 25 or 50 l tables, i suspect the 6 buy in loss would have only been 2.... i dont tilt at 25 or 50 so thats where ill play.
