Another week of frustration.  It's just so weird how I've had several stretches this month where everything goes wrong and I drop 10+ buy-ins in short amount of time, in a steady fashion.  But you might be saying, well, it also looks like you've had some positive steady stretches too.  True.  But the positive stretches where I make 10+ptbb is how it's *supposed* to be, and everything else is run bad.  Don't you get it?!?  If I didn't make ridiculous assumptions about running bad, then I wouldn't be a professional gambler!!!

In all seriousness tho, I think I'm waaay better at poker than I was a year ago, but I'm making less money.  Kind of depressing.  I only went back to 2/4+ this month, so I'm hoping it's some kind of short term run-bad, because I really do feel good about some of the things I'm doing.  The previous months, I had mostly been playing at 1/2, so the results, while meh, were not too bad.  Anyway, I think next month will be my month.  C'mon!  One time!

I got a refund for like $100+ a few days ago because apparently FT caught someone cheating (probably at 2/4 Rush), and reimbursed the affected players.  Probably just an isolated incident, but cheating is just something to keep an eye out for.

JOKE

A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces his altitude and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon and shouts "Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?"

The man below says "Yes, you're in a hot air balloon, hovering 30 feet above this field".

"You must work in technical support," says the balloonist.

"I do," replies the man. "How did you know?"

"Well" says the balloonist, "everything you have told me is technically correct, but completely useless."

The man below says: "You must be in management."

"I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"

"Well", says the man, "You don't know where you are, or where you're going, but you expect me to be able to help. You're still in the same position you were before we met, but now it's my fault."
