Got a sweat by DaGoat this morning. Lost 2.5 buyins. Was interesting, gives me a feel for how I need to think as I move up, however it also reinforced the fact that I need to play to beat the players I'm playing now. For instance a river bluff shove called by A9 on a 6789X board (not that order but the 4 straight hit on river, plus a 2-flush on turn that hit 3-flush on river) after a big turn raise. Anyone who can think should fold that, but if I'm playing people who cant fold then its not so good. Another almost full stack to a guy who donked pot 3 streets with TPNK on K high somewhat drawy board with JJ. I probably fold turn there, but his opps are quite capable of barrelling 3 streets with their draw that missed. Dont think that second one was too bad. It was the second hand (of 6 at the table) that he'd played and he donked the other one too. Marginal, but ok I think.
I should also mention, I didnt mind the loss too much. I think yesterdays introspection has helped a lot emotionally. Now a session like this morning is all part of the learning process. Not going to suggest I've suddenly conquered my problems, but I feel better atm anyway.
