A dose of reality.

Reality showed up today with a bang, -$3400 for 2600 hands. Fairly unpleasant. Lost three hands with sets among other horrible setups.

So, this means my unprecedented winning streak ends at 19. Pretty unreal streak IMO, but even though you KNOW you are on a super heater, there is a small voice in the back of your head saying "what if I really am just that good". Will be nice to get rid of that, and get my sanity back. Unfortunately, the reverse is also true when you are getting your butt kicked around. Even though you feel unlucky, the nagging doubt that you may be doing it all wrong can be hard to ignore.

Anyway, I wonder if anyone will continue to read my blog and love me after the streak is dead. Only time will tell.

That's unfortunate man, I know the feeling when you're on top of the world and can't lose, then you have a few bad sessions and start to question everything you do.

I just started up a blog again this month, feel free to check it out.

Thanks man, and good luck with your blog as well.

If the downswing goes on I will really try to focus on maintaining a positive outlook. The two previous month is a good indication that I am doing some things right, there should be no need to make fundamental game changes.
