I've been busy hating life

Yeah... In the midst of a $3k+ downswing... from my high point of like $8.2k I'm down a full $5.5k. Sweeeeeet.

I feel like I've been running absolutely terribly... definitely a few bad beats, ran kings into aces a couple of times, losing PrF flips like its nobody business... but apart from one massive, massive KK I'd rather not discuss further, it's mostly been a slow bleeding. You know the kind... never winning a pot, your monsters don't get action, your marginal hands get 3-bet, your c-bets keep getting raised, valuetowning yourself, etc. etc... maybe I've just been playing bad and spewing money, but I feel like I'm usually pretty aware about if I'm playing bad, and I think I've been playing fine.

Obviously I've had to move down and datamine the crap out of 100NL and 100PLO. I'm going to concentrate on PLO for a bunch of reasons:

1) Even though I've run terribly in PLO as well (something like $2k below expectation), I feel much more alienated towards HE than PLO.

2) PLO should be more profitable than HE.

3) 100PLO was where I first started boomswitching and shot up from like $2k to $5k in a couple of weeks. Good memories/good karma.

Currently playing my first PLO session of 'The Rebuilding' and it's going well, up about 2.5 buyins so far. Experiencing that good ol' awesome PLO variance, as I've been flipping pretty bad, but I did pull a massive suckout on a guy where he must've been something like 85% on the flop. (Don't want to run the #s or post the hand, because it was really spewy). Reminiscent of my first 100PLO run where I was something like $1k above expectation in my first 3kish hands I think.

Good luck me!
