I havent really had any swings lately, other than upswings atleast Yesterday I faced swings that made me once again understand why some people are playing high stakes limit or MTT's or SnG's or whatever instead of high(ish) stakes NL ring. The day started off pretty good, I played 1.5h 2 tabling short handed nl400 as usual and I ended up about $500. The second session didnt start good at all, I lost some pot to smallish bad beats which didnt make me feel that good. I was aggressive as usual but these guys werent buying my re-raises and I was still trying to bully my way through even though it obviously wasnt working at all. Results: more bullying and 1,5h later I was down about a grand in one session! I gotta tell you I wasnt really happy with myself and even though it was "only" 2,5 buy-ins it is still a thousand dollars for one session! I felt about the same when I was at $777 playing dman challenge when all I neede was lowsy $23, I finally lost about $600 in one hand and I felt pretty sick afterwards, my stomach started aching then and it started aching yesterday. So I am having trouble putting the money behind and just playing for chips, buy-ins or percentages of my BR. I have to start thinking that way so that I can play my best. My BR is still little over 8k so I will still play 2/4NL. Today is another day..
I am trying to organize a home game for tonight, would be fun to play some live after a long pause from live games. Drinking beer with friends and playing poker is so much fun
