Tru' Grind
Yesterday had a real nasty day where nothing seemed to work. In fact the past week has been this way, and its continuously bringing up really tough spots and some harsh bad beats, and a lower distribution of premium hands end game.
The day started off with me not cashing in my first 2 sets of $16s. Losing 16 SNGs in a row isn't a great feeling, but it really did help in not knowing how much I was down. Eventually, I pulled it back to only losing $24 for the day.
Its weird as the day passes when I start losing count of my games. I was pretty annoyed, but I'm probably not as emotionally distraught as if I knew the numbers as the day went on. I honestly thought I was losing a ton more, but I do find myself usually favoring a pessimistic view to not be disappointed.
Checked my cashier and I'm up $50! Randomly "BOP'ed" a 19th place last week, dunno how that happened coz I've been running pretty badly, but its a nice surprise! The_Venetian totally killed it this week, and he's seems to run really good against me, beating me nearly all the time whether I'm ahead of not.
As I'm sweating the WSOP $1500(GO DURRRR!!), gonna grind some games today and hopefully things will run better. I've found that when going through a rough patch I'm losing a loooot less and will be pretty much break even most of the time, which is a great sign that your roll will always be on the move up.
Peace out, Scopers!

Thanks Henrypaul,
Though I would say busting a whole set in MTTs is a lot more normal then STTs, your payouts are so top heavy it kinda leads things to go that way.
Well, for now just going through a rough patch. My 5th losing day in a row today, which hasn't happened since the beginning of March. But its ok, I'm not losing loads and just learning a lot in the process. I'm happier not stressing out knowing how good/bad I'm doing now.
I wouldnt worry about tanking a load. Im pretty solid RoI on $3 18 mans and tanked my last 11 in a row yesterday. Last one i went out with AQ to A2 when he made a straight. I open shoved in front of him UTG too
. wouldve tilted me but i had already posted a very respectable profit on the day and even with that run finished with about 40% over 70 games for $87 profit.
