Peice of shit. I know I probably overplayed the AK and the flush hand. Whatever. I hate those stretches where you are not making the best hand, opening AK and bricking everyflop, and having people constantly playing back at you. I am proud to say that I have at least learned to cope with downswings and have yet to even come close to going broke. I am having trouble retaining my bankroll at a desired limit but I have gotten much better at managment and postflop play.

I plan on taking the rest of the day off from the tables but I will resume playing three-to-five thousand hands per-day tommorow. I figure I will be rich eventually...
