I ran into a lot of trap-happy opponents who like to cold-call preflop raises with big Aces and big pairs. As a result I modified my preflop strategy -- I raised way many more suited connectors/suited crap and way fewer big offsuit cards AQ/AJ/KQ.

I ended up overdoing things -- playing way too many hands (notice high VPIP), finding people paying back at my preflop raises, putting myself on tilt, ended up losing a stack with a reckless bluff. Fortunately I was able to stop the bleeding there. I calmed down, tightened up, played some solid poker and got back into the green with a huge cooler against a regular that I respect.

Saturday night I played much tighter than I usually do. The night followed a similar course as the previous night.

small sample size -- I'm running at like 7.5 PTBB but only over 50k hands
Another 50k hands or so with similar winrate and I will move up
