God, I hope no Americans are reading this because my whining will seem so incredibly insignificant compared to the bullshit they are forced to deal with.
Regardless, I need a vent post due to how much poker has been owning me since I took a 4-day long break last week. It also doesn't help that I just made the biggest purchase of my life and am thus on an incredibly thin roll. It would be pretty annoying to have to grind nl 100 which is what I'm looking at right now. On an even more depressing note, the job that I received seems now very much in jeopardy (as I previously mentioned it's in the poker industry). I feel like I'm a little piece of lint in a dryer being thrown around over and over. I just hope I land on solid ground come May.

Past 2 days of fun - I'm only like 8 BIs under EV this month so that's not even out of the ordinary, I just never have the best hand and keep putting buyins in drawing dead over and over in what I think are good spots.
