Poker life has been good but frustrating. While I've not stacked off like I would have in the past, I've had 6k hands of coolers and bad beats, just running like dog poop. I'm down 2.5 ptBB/100 over that stretch, with a 4.2 ptBB (positive) EV.
Tonight, it started just the same, but then I hit a mini-heater and picked up a couple BI's. I've just gotta convince myself to keep fold, fold, folding. It will turn around eventually. No reason to compound (bad) poker luck by spewing.
Sometimes they really do have it 5 times in row when they 4b your light 3b's. Sometimes they really do have 3 times in a row when they make a big turn raise. Take your read, make your laydown, wait for things to look better.
I withdrew $300 because I was nearing the point would I "have" to play 100nl. I've been working pretty hard on my game and improving a lot at 50nl, but I don't feel quite ready for 100nl. So I made a defensive withdrawal to keep my bankroll marginal enough that I wouldn't be tempted to take a shot. I still have lessons to learn here.
Finished clearing an Iron Man bonus, and I get to turn in Iron Man medals for a $100 bonus 1-Feb. At the end of February, if I don't spew off my roll between now and then, I'll probably be taking my game back to 100nl.
