No sign of a change in fortunes this weekend

Loss: about $5

As I promised myself (and well done for doing it as I think it represents good bankroll and temperament management) I didn't play any poker for a couple of days. When I did return, as promised, I avoided cash rooms and played in minuscule $2 sit and gos. It turned out to be the right choice because the cards hammered me.

The following are hands that either crippled me or knocked me out games.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1266747 - I was simply trying to ensure I got all my money in.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1266755 - A standard suckout but it was during heads up so it cost me a shot at winning a lot more money.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1266764 - Pretty much the same situation expect the money went all in on the turn when I had him crushed (more or less).

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1266771 - Nice... with 500 chips left I pushed a couple of hands later with 67 and bricked out.

I lost three races and critical junctures too.

By no means do I think I'm playing great. But I've been satisfied with my play in all maybe 80-90% of the sngs I've played so far. I've got my money in good 70% of the time, been in races 20% and misplaced/tilted 10% of the time.

The stakes are irrelevant at the moment. My confidence is very low, I don't feel to be playing well and I feel the cards are against me at the moment. Playing in the lowest stakes until these three points of self-analysis change is definitely the wisest course of action.
