Good job dude. I'm really glad you posted that because I needed to hear that. Although I've only been below for like 4 days in a row, I'm just not going anywhere. And two days ago, I just kept going more and more down. Now I'm prepared to go through this for another month (only if I have to...)
If I bet as a bluff, I should be thinking "am I getting better hands to fold? Is it likely that he will fold x% of the time to a y sized bet to make it +EV?". If I bet for value, I should be thinking "am I getting worst hands to call? Am I ahead of enough of his range that this is a good value bet?".
