I think yesterday was an excellent example of my downfall, all the hands were going against me and i just kept playing. I actually made it all the way down to 1.75$, my current bankroll is 25$.
gawh,
current goal is 50$, lets try and get back to day 1... sheesh.

Ugly, and gross.
Some hands have been feeling like setups to lose money, i just had q/q vs a/a, he slowed played his aces so i had no idea, but the flop was a/q/rag . So of course on the river i pay him off thinking that the money is coming my way, and then a guy raised and i had q/k suited, which is decent, and he raised on the flop and i hit top pair of kings, so, i thought i might even take that hand down, but he ended up having K/K, and taking a good chunk away from my bankroll.
So, I have 24$ and not many frequent player points to bail me out.
Terrible poker day, awful.
So, I guess i need to stay patient and try to make any at all profit i can get, just aslong as i make any progress.
ahhhhh come on luck.

3rd day
Woes, Unfortunately, my boat of profit has run aground.
I'm at 60$, and I've had "one of those days..."
Which is a pleasant way of describing suck outs and bad luck. I'm using a strategy of setting a noose for opponents to hang themselves. When i flop top pair top kicker, since i am playing tight, I check or do a minimal raise. If i feel like I could get sucked out on, 3 cards near each other or 2 of the same suite. The idea is, if i just bet out confidently i might drive away someone with middle or bottom pair, and even at times you can keep someone with ace high in the pot for a later bet when they are a large underdog. I find that people after calling the flop and turn, will call a larger bet on the river. If they have a draw that misses, of course they muck immediately.
Well. the table im playing at now, ive had my aces cracked twice, once by 10/10 the other by 10/9. I guess i should of folded the 2nd being which the board was 76789, but i hate it when a board goes perfectly for another player to beat you.
So, now I'm down to 42$, and a bit depressed. I should probably take a break from playing, but this is where my nonprofitable play comes in, when i begin losing.. or actually lose long enough, it just encourages me to get in there and take it back.
I need to rather drop down in limits for a little while, until i feel "it" coming back to me, or really separate myself completely playing for a few hours.
I guess i need to just stay positive, and look at this like im back at the end of day 1, im back to 50$, which was day 1's goal. I might do a very low buy in tournament or large sit n go.. something to get me back on track...
