I moved back down to 2NL today and had mixed results. Overall for the day I lost about 20%. I bought in for max at 3 seperate tables. I did well playing with discipline, I just lost my ass early at 2 of the three tables to suckouts.

I have gone back and rethought the hands and the bets and the only real leak I think is the size of my preflop raises. I was betting 4xbb and getting called by suited connectors, low PP's and the like only to have them hit. I happened about half a dozen times and dropped my stacks tremendously. I was playing good hands (QQ, KK, AK etc.) I was just getting called and out drawn. *shrug* It happens I guess. If my bet sizing had been what it should have been, I probably would have performed better.

I did manage to drop about 10 bucks in a relatively short amount of time, it was a bit discouraging, but I adjusted my preflop raises and I slowly began regaining ground. The problem was I had taken such a hit right off the bat, I spent alot of effort just striving to make even for the day.

I am not sure if the fact I bought in for max today was what hurt me. I feel it might have, but I am not nearly adept enough to assess that at this point. I will continue buying in for max and see how well I perform.

Just as having two wonderfully profitable days doesn't mean shit in the long run, having one crappy day doesn't either.

Gotta stay psoitive
