Lately, I think I've been playing better, but losing money. Until I see results, it's pretty hard to ascertain how much better I'm playing (if at all). I'm basically on another 30K hand breakeven stretch, so things have been frustrating.  But that's a pretty small sample.

I wish there was an objective way of measuring how bad you're running because I've played long enough to know I'm running poorly. But I've always been a numbers person, so I would like to get an idea of how poorly. If anyone knows of any analysis software, let me know!

On the bright side, I grilled myself a prime ribeye for dinner because Mrs. Fly was busy marinating some short ribs to grill tomorrow.
 
HANDS
 
I've been playing a few shallow 6max tables (where the max buy-in is 40 big blinds, instead of the usual 100) and I think I'm about to break my first mouse. The play there is just bizarre - someone just floated me two streets with one overcard, didn't bet the river, and won the river showdown.  Really?

Another frustrating hand below.  It wouldn't be that unusual, except the guy was playing like 40% of his hands and had an aggression factor of 1.0 (so basically loose passive) over like 100 hands.
