I'm now starting to understand how downswings for low volume players get extra frustrating.

My downswing has been going on for about 3-4 months now. But I just checked my HEM yesterday, and over the last two months I have about 13k hands in! This is ridiculously low volume, considering the months prior to that I was probably averaging about 35-40k hands per month.

This week is destined to be a massively hell week at work for me, but hopefully this weekend and onwards I'll start re-grinding again.

I'm pretty happy with my play overall, aside from my usual 1-2 bad total bluffs per session. Sometimes I wish there was some program that could just compute numerically how bad you're really running (in terms of variance, EV, hitting bad boards, ppl hitting sets - everything). It would be comforting if that existed at least!

I'm pretty committed to turning this around though. Read most of the mental game (still a bit left), and am taking notes and implementing the recommendations for the most part.

Also decided to get some coaching off 2p2 for the first time in my life. Had my first session yesterday, which was good. Brought some concepts to the table, but should probably also record a session. I guess I gotta download some version of camtasia!

Downswing is currently at about 4 months real time, and $30k. Let's turn this puppy around!
