After a promising opening few sessions to the month, quickly amassing more than $2k in profits, I have gone on my most impressive nosedive yet, an impressive 14BI in under 5k hands. At 1/2 that's $2800, a number that still seems a bit insane to me. I've been being a pretty big bankroll nit and luckily that represents less than 15% of what I've got online, but that shit still ain't fun. Last Friday was the doomsday for me, a -$1454 session in 2500 hands, just an unadulterated freefall where everything went wrong. I tilted a bit towards the end and gave up about a stack and a half that I didn't have to, but otherwise felt my play was pretty good. Saturday was just sick. Just under 1500 hands, lost just shy of $900, adjusted for all-in equity would have lost only $2.06. No bullshit. KK < TT AIPF for 130bb doesn't help that number. Neither does getting it in with bottom set vs. TPTK on a 2347 board (bink! off rolls the river 5). I was also oversetted twice, one of them coming in a hand that was also AA vs KK (he smooth-called my 3bet and we both flopped sets, ouch.)
I'm climbing my way out of it, but slowly and steadily. $400 yesterday, $300 today, a buyin here, a buyin there. After my $1500 down-day in February where I kinda lost my shit, the primary thing I forgot was that my goal was not to get my money "back" - it was just to make money. As a result of forgetting that, I lost all patience and made far too many moves, trying to win every pot. Result: I just kept losing.
Maybe I'm nitting it up a bit too much - I played 15/13 yesterday and 14/10 today - but for the moment, grinding out profits seems to be working. I'm back to about even for the month and there's still a lot of month left for me to salvage.
