Cards were dead tonight. Just couldn't make a set to save my life. It happens though. All it means is I am due for a streak. Lost my first AA hand though. 4200 hands, I have seen it 21 times and tonight was my first loss. It's bound to happen though, there isn't a monster hand out there that is invincible, all of them will be outdrawn at some point.

I was happy with my play overall though. I focused and refused to make any questionable plays. None of my calls were unjustified, I just never made a set to call with really. I caught playable hands preflop, I just couldn't pair anything, caught PP's preflop about a dozen times and didn't catch a third once.

I have resolved myself to playing as close to mistake free as I could and I think I succeeded in that. Now to just continue. Except for the hand I lost with AA, the rest of my losses came from preflop raises that flopped rags, and continuation bets that were raised.

Now to just maintain that kind of focus and get back on track. I did manage to pull out some recovery in the end so my BR really didn't take much of a hit. Either way, if I keep playing this way I should begin to see my first real improvements I think. I have been to0 concerned with playing aggressively and not concerned enough with making post flop +EV decisions.

*EDIT* Oh yea, I did checkout grinderschool and took out a subscription (i believe adamthepirate suggested it), so hopefully, between the laptop on the oilrig and the house I can put some time in there and further the learning process a bit.
