Blogging instead of playing...

Loss: $16

...because if I play anymore I might go on tilt.

Just had a disaster session in which I lost $30. Dire.

I've been continuing to include 20/25nl tables in my sessions and I happen to have J10. Limped in and flop was AQX two spades. Turn brings K of spades. I bet $1, get raised to 10$ by someone who had done some very maniacy type stuff. I decided he didn't have a flush and called. He had 89s. One of those situations where things have to set themselves up. Player read gone all wrong.

Then later I had JJ. Raise, Get min raised by a half stack and see a flop of 632. He checks, I bet and he raises to about $5. I push and he calls and tables KK. Again, if he didn't have half a stack I probably would have avoided a bullet. $35 gone.

I was in the middle of quitting the game when I had to go all in with QQ against AJ which did hold up to with $5 back, but a $30 loss is bad. I'm not showing a $30 loss because last night, after a bad start I played well with some delayed c/betting and slowplaying premium pairs. But today wipes that out and more.

Confidence dented, afraid to risk 25nl, cycle repeats. Sigh.

You really should keep mixing in 25nl, moving down and up between where you feel comfortable and then pushing yourself to get comfortable at the higher limit.
You're such a bankroll nit that i cant see a big issue in you for getting greedy or moving up too fast, your issue is fear of playing higher...and you need to get over it
