Definitely started to pinpoint some of my leaks today. It's easy to blame coolers and bad beats, (KK vs turned trips, stuff like that) but even beyond that I could see two particular issues.

1 - Calling down too light. Shown Clearly by the negative showdown winnings, even taking into account coolers.
2 - Not playing positional poker enough. I dont think I can blame it on "oh, I got fishy players to my left I'm not going to open light here OTB" b/c my steal rates are getting ridiculously low. I think I'm definitely losing value, not only through steals but by not being paid off when I do have hands.

Felt a bit of tilt when I was up 3bi's and I should have stopped but kept going (I'm sure you guys can relate). All in all, turned a breakeven day into +1bi, so I'm pretty thankful of that.

1490vpps, so I'll hit silverstar tomorrow. Not sure at what point I'll take a NL50 shot, probably aiming for beginning of february'ish after hopefully having put in about 20k+ hands at NL25.

*drumroll*

your first losing day is gonna hit you hard like a train wreck

CrazyTltd is the biggest nit you'll ever see
elev8mel8er is probably the only good LAG you'll find at nl25

Thanks for the advice~ I think they both play on fast tables, since I've never seen them around (I can only play slow tables due to intermittent net connection)

I think having lost 2/3 of my BR a month ago should help deal with "first losing day" (since I've had plenty ) but I will DEFINITELY have to maintain good long term perspective when it happens. Hopefully you can come slap me silly when I make that update

I'm not really sure what I'm going to do for nl50. Overall I'm on the Maynard! school of aggressive but responsible BR management, aka "wtf are you doing!?!?" BR management.
