I just had the wierdest/ longest session of my life. I managed to drop ~$300 in the first 1k hands of the session after tilt induced by this hand...

I knew he had AA. Everything from the large raise UTG to the flat call of my reraise, to the crai on the flop SCREAMED of aces. I even said in the chat "OK, I pay you off". But I didn't have the discipline to follow my instinct and fold. This drove me fairly insane...

I was also coolered repeatedly and ran about -$100 in all-ins just within those 1k hands, but I'm not going to bitch. Most of the problem was bad play and tilt. However, somehow I managed to calm myself down and turn my results around. I played for 4k hands in total and brought my losses back to -$22 for the day. Considering where I was at one point, I am delighted that I brought it back and got myself under control.

I'm hoping to reach PlatinumStar tomorrow so I can finish and put January behind me. Don't get me wrong though, this has been an OK month, I've learnt a lot and I've made the move to FR. Hopefully I can make a bit more money next month though
