Had what started out as a great session today. Went from 30 to 38 in just a couple of hours at 2NL, not bad, and I figured I'd make it my goal to get to 45 today. About 4 hours later and I'm now at about 29.50, which means today's been a loss. Decided that if I lose that much I'm calling it quits for the day, so that's what I'm doing.

What mostly killed me was one table. I've pretty much decided that until I get to $50 I'm going to quit my table every time I double up (I always buy in for the full, though), so I switch a lot of tables throughout the day. I get to this one, doing pretty good, but then this guy comes in who I'm pretty sure normally plays for much higher limits but came down to 2NL. A lot of people have been doing that on Full Tilt ever since they started this "Academy Challenge" thing, which has kind of turned the lower-stakes games into World of Warcraft. At anyrate, this guy would play super-aggressively, almost never fold, and whenever anyone actually went to the showdown with him he'd have the nuts. I found this out first hand a couple of times, and even though I wasn't on tilt after that my game just took a big slide. Eventually I went all-in on two pair on the flop and the guy rivered a higher second pair, which made today a loss, so I decided to quit.

I'll pick it back up tomorrow.
