AAAARRRRGGGGGGHHHHH! Down about 6 BI's in the last week, and played over 5000 hands to do that... Only a couple minor cases of tilt, but I really don't think that I was playing THAT bad. Actually was close to breaking even for the week two days ago, but just had a really rough last couple days. Nearly every time I bluffed, I was called or raised, but of course when I actually had a hand, they folded like a cheap suit. My Non-showdown losses in the last two days alone account for about 4BI's! It's been a rough couple days, and I'm taking tonight and maybe tomorrow off to play some video games, and clear my head.

Here's the Biggest winner and losers of the last week!

This seemed to be the only way I could win last week, making incredibly difficult calls, or crazy bluffs (even this against a 70/20 idiot).

So... That was a lot of hands for me in the last week. I'm dissapointed that it wasn't profitable, but I've looked my stats over, and reviewed my sessions, and there really wasn't much that I think I should've changed. I could have played a little tighter in spots, but that's really nit picking, I really just had a horrible luck streak. I'll pick it back up, and I'm ready for some winning!

Went up to a Hot-air balloon festival last weekend, the Kids (and Dad and Grampie) had a great time watching these things up close. Then there was the Firetruck Monster truck, and the playground, and well, the kids went to bed real easy that night. Not much planned for this weekend, but I've got a lot of cleaning and other housework that I need to catch up on for sure. Maybe I'll play some poker if I think I want to... we'll see.
