To laugh or cry?
Generally speaking, I'll try to avoid the "bad-beat" stories. Because in all honesty, it's where I make my living. I mean, the worse the beat, the worse the player, the more likely he's donating to the game. But some days... some days you just want to cry. You see so many bad players winning so many pots by catching so many cards. And they take your money.
I know this should make me happy. I really do. And most of the time, it does. My eyes light up, my pulse quickens, I open 5 more tables. But tonight, it's just making me sad. "Live games are rigged."

The night could have been alot worse. I'm "only" down about $600, but for playing about 5-6 hours, I should be up over a grand. That's a $1600 difference. What's really bothering me is this is the first week I've suffered a consistent hit to my win rate. Over the past 165 tourneys (about 3 days and 2 half days), I'm only at $5.55 per tourney. Not terrible (I'm not down), but about 25-35% of what I normally make. Maybe I'm paranoid, but I've been nervous about all my expenses, and whether or not I can really do this for a living.
Anyhow, the best thing to do is stick to plan. It looks like I have a good shot at hitting 750 tourneys this month (which has always been my stated goal for every month). Hopefully the win rate will pick up somewhere along the line.
