Finished up last week down 4 BIs. Not bad for the way the week started out. Today so far has been another nightmare. Lost some monster hands to suckouts. AA on a Jxx flop v JJ in a 4bet pot for -320. Then very next hand AA v 97 same villain and he turns 2 pair for -140. I was down 600 with AA at one point, about 800 total. Then I get KK v AA twice, 99 v KK on a K9x flop, along with this gem:

I am only down ~500 now, which is unbelievable. I am flat out playing great, I am just not hitting enough hands to keep everyone honest, and when I do I get killed. I am still losing more big hands than I am winning, and I am getting the $$$ in ahead 80%+ of the time. Gonna grind through it...
