Ran bad and subsequently played bad on saturday losing 4 buy-ins at 100NL and 4 at 50NL. Something I really need to work on is stopping when things aren't going my way. I usually play 1-2 hour sessions and when I'm playing longer than that it's usually because I'm stuck. I've found that I'm still very psychologically affected by the results of my play, something I'm trying to get away from. I think I played fairly well on saturday at 100nl and mostly spewtard at 50nl. A lot of my losses were against one loose passive big-stack who really had my number. I'll post some of those hands.
Today, I played a short session in the afternoon (100nl) and absolutely killed. I netted almost 5 and a half buy-ins in an hour. I'm amazed how swingy this is, having such a large swing in a small amount of time helps me get some perspectives on the 1-2 BI losing sessions. Anyway I played well, caught some good cards, etc, but what really surprised me is that I didn't play many big pots. I was mostly just buying pots and picking off bluffs and short stacks.
For the operation, since the 20th, I'm down $0.35 over 5.8k hands. Not stressing it too bad, I'm still running pretty good at 100nl.
Here's a pokerev graph of the weekend
The big dip at about 1700 hands was a 300 bb pot that i lost vs the lp guy.
He was playing 52/11/.6 over about 100 hands. Here's the big pots I played with him.
Lost 100 bb to him with AK v AT all-in preflop
Lost 150 bb in flush under flush (I may need to look at this closer)
Then this little gem

Results in white below:
MP has Td Ah (straight, ten high).
Hero has 9s 7s (two pair, nines and sevens).

I thought that the preflop was a little out of line, but I felt I was even with his range on the flop and miles ahead on the turn. Anyway, that was fun. I have some more interesting hands I'll post either here or in the 6-max forum.
