It's just not therapeutic to vent to non-poker players...so I'm gonna do it here, weather anyone reads it or not. I had rough stretches all week but struggled to be up a bit thanks to one big ring game and one larger SnG. Last night was the icing though. I've never had to go to the well for more dough during a ring game...did it twice. (my only real regret..Won't do it again) It just wouldn't come together, and when it did....three boats cracked. Finally took a stab at one SnG on the way out, going good, looked like a good chance to recoup over half the nights losses. I called a preflop raise by the chip leader with AK, flop comes AKQ rainbow. I ck raise all-in heads up, he calls. His TT trips up on the river and I go from second to out. What a kick in the doo-dads! Laying in bed thinking about my 20% bankroll reduction I did manage to feel ok in that I didn't feel I went on tilt and I stuck to my strategy, only regret being that I'm going to set my loss limit to my original buy in. (frankly I never had to deal with that before) Also, I AM still playing with 'house' money, but I don't let that attitude loosen my play, plus...shit happens! lol Learn and move on.

Thanks for listening! :>)
