The brutality continues

NL100 appears to have abandoned me for the time being, with me dropping just shy of 8 buyins over the last 4k hands. Last night was particularly brutal, not just because of the $450 I dropped over 3k hands (indeed the previous 1k was much worse), but because of the 124 times I managed to see the flop with a pocket pair, I managed to flop a ridiculously low 6 sets. And then, of those 6 sets, I actually managed to lose about $50 with them. Insane. TT turned into a set 3 times for me. Once it won me a nonconsequential pot, the second time it ran into AA on an ATx flop (I managed not to stack off, as I realized pretty quickly I was likely up against AA), and the third time it ran into a JJ that managed a runner-runner flush. Unreal.

I actually thought that my play was quite good last night and I managed to keep a level head; the cards just didn't cooperate, and sometimes they have to.

The bankroll has been slipping but I'm still in the $5k ballpark, well-bankrolled for NL100, so there's nothing to do but keep grinding and work my way out of the slump.
