Vacation and downfall

Well, I've been on vacation and doing a lot of house work, therefore I haven't been able to play as much as I'd like.  I'm just getting back into a "regularish" amount of play.  I did screw the pooch big time though.  I got emotional and pissed away my entire online bankroll.   I just ran into shit luck and massive suck outs and everything you could think of including being my own worst enemy.  I really had to take another few days off and analyze what went wrong.  In the end... it was ME.  Plain and simple.  Hopefully, I won't make that mistake again. It was very costly.  What happened you ask?  Well, for starters I was just too tired to play even though I wanted to.  Then after several bad beats I got stubborn and lost mind.  Out of anger and frustration I sat at a $50 and then $20 and lost both.  Pissed away my bank and had to reload.  Yes I feel like a schmuck.  But I did learn something from it.  I've devised a checklist to see if I should even fire up the game or not.  It should keep me from being such a schmuck in the future.  Now to grind my bank back and beyond.

Another good 3

Went 3 and 0 in a short session before work.  Can 3 games be called a "session"?  Any way one really crazy game come back win.  I was just completely card dead.  73 72 84 93 etc. Got chipped away at pretty easily and was crippled most of the match.  Pretty much said screw it and shoved whenever I caught playable cards. Q9s, KT etc it all worked out.  Won a couple all-ins.  Caught AA that held followed up by KJs that won the match.  It was pretty screwy.  Overall, probably caught about 10 what might be called decent hands.  It's not how many pots.  It's the pots that count. 

Playing well.

Still playing well since my fall.  Steadily grinding the $2SNGs.  Since my fall I've gone 20 and 10 over 3 sessions.  The volume is going to taper off for a week since I have to go back on my work rotation.  I should still be able to fit in a few games here and there.  Starting to learn the Nash/sage stuff to help with my endgame play.  Had a pretty sick cooler.  Had a guy down to 4 big blinds and lost.  I think I get a little antsy trying to end the game and it costs me chips and sometimes the game.  I'll get it figured out though.  Just a matter of time.
