  • -$40, 3 betting  AK oop, shoving flop vs short stacker who had KQ tp obv
  • -35 racing AK vs JJ

Daily Grind: Today was a tough day, at one point I dropped $400 in an hour and I tilted hard. Gonna have to break my sessions down to an hour each in order to avoid tilt. 

How I Played: I played alright until I was hit with 4 straight coolers. Then I tilted and my play was borderline +EV. I began to look at the computer screen and see pure rage for a while. My second 3 hours I played solid in my opinion, coulda been more relaxed when I played which woulda made my decision process more on point. Towards the end of my day I felt like a poker zombie who was grinding out hand after hand in order to earn my $3 an hour or whatever of rakeback. When I play for a long time and I'm still down $ it feels like I'm going through .25 NL or .5 NL grinding struggles all over again. A couple of good runs at $1 NL should help me out. This is only my 2nd month at $1NL, gotta pull it together.
