on a 5 buyin downswing right now. i know, that's not much. but i feel like i'm getting my ass handed to me soundly. part of it is running bad, but i think i'm not adjusting properly to more aggressive players where bluffing is a big part of their range.

at the time, i didn't even give a damn what kind of read i had. i put him in the generic party category of "lagtard who bluffs everything." needless to say, i quit my session after this hand.
