I'm still up a decent amount for the month (mainly due to RB), but I'm only beating 1/2 for a gay 1PTBB/100 over the 16k hands I've played. I'm disappointed with that, I guess it's not that big a sample, I dunno. I just expect more. Maybe I'm looking at things wrong, or being too results oriented, or expecting too much. But I'm just disappointed that I've put a lot of work in this month and don't have as much as I'd like to show for it.
I'm not sure if the way I play I should be earning morning and I'm just running bad... or if I'm not playing well enough at this limit. I feel like I'm playing well, but postflop I still have some things to work on. I often experiment with different lines and make different plays just to see what happens, I occasionally stack off when i shouldn't... but I think I always learn from it, and it's rarely ever from tilt.
My table selection is really good right now, but I'm going to study Verneers article and new video to improve it still. My multi-tabling game feels pretty good. I'm feeling comfortable playing 6 tables at a time while still developing reads on players, using hud stats, etc. Maybe trying to put a set amount of volume in today messed with my game or something.
Bleh, I'm gonna go read a bunch of peoples blogs to re-enforce that everyone has swings, and mine are pretty tiny in comparison.
EDIT: Just looked at my PT stats for today. 2,200 hands playing 19/16. 22 WTSD%, 52 W$atSD% is losing 4.5 buy-ins even possible with those stats? lol fffsss

Dont worry about it Barry . a 4.5 buy loss doesnt represent a downswing , more like variance if you ask me , particularly as youv only recently started playing 1/2
im sure the hard work will pay off
later
Cheers for the encouragement dude. Kind of a short term results orientedy post. It's shitty spending the most part of a Saturday grinding and ending up losing money.
Was good to vent though, helps me see my state of mind and what bothers me when I'm losing so that I can sort my mindset.
I echo what grinder said. You have just moved up to a new level that is going to be slightly different. At least you have lasted 16k hands and are still in the green. It could be a lot worse!
I know it will come round for you. Don't get disheartened matey. Sounds like variance is just kicking you in the nuts.
Take a couple of days off and get smashed. You'll comeback and wonder what all the fuss was about. :)

I agree with Graham its more likely variance than anything else. Your putting more work in than any of us and it will pay off in the long run.
Good luck
