I played another session last night and made a small profit of about 30 bucks. Played again this afternoon at Clara's and made about 60. I was playing good, feeling good, making good reads and good folds. I came home around 4 and played a session. I was continuing to play well and make good reads. I actually won a coinflip for a buyin against someone who overplayed his AK. Then I made the same mistake when my AK ran into KK on a Kxx flop. Then I started running like I have been for the past week again. Oh I should mention that I cut it down from 8 tables to 4 and I think that is best right now. FTP really hurts for 8 tabling because of so much overlap I can't see what's going on in the hands I'm not involved in which hurts my reading ability.

I was a little surprised to see the person turn over KQo. I'm pushing this flop all day long. It's a huge draw. I'm trying really hard not to be results oriented by taking a free card off here just because I'm running bad. The player berated me afterwards but I still think I made the right play.

This hand ended my session. This happened about 4 hands into a HU match. I had been very aggro the two other times I had the button by raising pre and then potting the flop. I figured I'd take the same line, hoping he had an ace. Well he did and I was very happy to see him turn over AQ. Then when the J came on the turn I knew I was dead. I actually closed my eyes and didn't see the river. I'm running so bad it's pathetic. People try to give away their money, and it's taking miracles for me not to take it from them.
Overall I'm down for the last session I played, but I'm up for the day. I think I'm up about 30 bucks, I don't have the exact numbers because the other session was on my laptop.
Stats for this afternoons session:
Hands: 492
Profit: -31.90
Rate: -6.48PTbb/100
VP$P/PFR: 21.34/16.26 <--- Much looser than I have been playing and I feel like this is a better style for me.

Stay mentally tough Mike. Get out a post-it note, write "Mentally Tough" and stick it on your monitor. It makes a big difference.
