These were my "Bad Day" PT Stats from my worst ever day of poker:



Maybe half was coolers and bad beats, but the rest was spew. And I had another two nights of spew, just not quite this bad. I was reverse grinding, took a $700 bankroll under $400.

Here's today's results. Whew. I'm baa-ack!!



Happy Easter.

I'm back up to $450 already, winning 5 BI at 10nl 6max in 2k hands. I've been table selecting like a demon, ditching tables that are laid out wrong, keeping all the chips on my right and trying to avoid LAGGy shorties to my immediate left. Fishing hard. Changing seats. Jumping in and out of games. I think if I take enough trouble to table select like this all the time, I could pwn Absolute's 6max 10nl tables for 10+ ptBB/100 playing 4 at a time. And I'm going to give it a serious shot in the next couple weeks as I rebuild the roll. And I've got $50 in rakeback on the way any day.

I've taken some of Spoon's advice about PAHUD stats, working to get my popup stats configured and using them more often (need more hands on this site/level to make more of them meaningful).

I'm thinking of taking my next shot at 25nl when I hit $625 (25 BI) with a $400 stop loss. I know my A game beats 25nl, if I do the following:

1. Play my A+ game EVERY hand.
2. Play only 4 tables of 6max at once.
3. Play only 6 tables of FR at once.
4. Table select hard.
5. Profile and target villains.
6. Work on session review.
7. Post more HH's on FTR and at GrinderSchool.

If I'm not able to play my A game, I can kill some time playing PLO2 - something that won't bleed my bankroll.

But I'm back to winning. I'm on the upswing, and regaining my confidence hand by hand. Just a temporary (though massive) setback.
