Withdrew some of my roll today (hopefully be replacing soon), which tipped me down close to my crossover mark for the $22s. Played a set of 4 $22s tonight, and just had one of those runs. Sucked out against in two I was doing well in, and my very first 'short push' ran into a monster BvB in a third. Built a nice stack in the fourth, but ran into a very loose donkey who continually hit very strong hands with crap when I had good hands. This tilted me a bit (been a long time since I've had to admit that), and I started making some terrible calldowns with middle pair and stuff. Heres the thing, even though he'd call big raises with crap PF, I only ever saw him showdown good hands when he bet or called postflop. I knew that, it was a good read! However I just couldnt bring myself to believe he 'had the goods' every single bloody time we saw a flop together (he folded like twice postflop v's me in over a dozen hands). Meant I poured way too much cash into his pockets and managed to go out pushing A2 which he called with 52o and hit a straight built around his 5.

So..umm...now I'm back to the $11s till I get back over my mark . Current roll onsite is around $610, and $660 is my crossover mark, so hopefully wont take long.
Just playing to improve.
