I make a huge big stupid mistake.

Balance : $1355

I installed Spade-eye so I could find fish at the tables.  Turns out in my greed I ended up running 7 tables at NL200 with my whole bankroll in play.

Everything was OK but I mistakenly thought I had a straight but in fact I had 8 high.  He shoves, I call.  In fact he had a bigger straight + flush draw and I choked on -$200 for my stupidity.

My balance flew up to $1800 at one point but down to $1080 at the end of the session.

Sick and pissed off with my play, I got back in the saddle and made another $270 this morning…still playing as I write this.

Missed the homegame…no idea for results, Shugster won last week.

Bobbing between NL200 and NL100.  NL50 is too slow and less fish.  I find more fish at the NL200 who know they’ll get paid off with $40 or $80 really easy for a quick double up.  That doesn’t happen so much at NL50.

My game is definitely more refined.  I’m checking down in situations and controlling my losses more.  When I get out of line, I get busted when my draws miss.  I’m also showing less aggression on the flop and turn.  It seems to keep me from losing too much.
