eh, I actually rather not. Poker for this last week has been terrible, I really hate to say it, but I have been "running bad." Yeah, so I'll stop there and spare you my complaining. I started this month, like the previous blog post said, break-even, but I picked it up in the middle of the month and started winning. Then disaster hits, right before the day of Thanksgiving and I'm currently at my 8th losing session in a row. I guess it evens out because last month I did run good and had a pretty long streak of winning sessions.
But, times like these, it's hard to not question your play and your skill level. "Am I just not good enough?" always comes to my head. I'm still confident though, even though I'm a little down;I'm handling this better than expected. I'm actually more upset about my winrate on PTR, I was so close in obtaining 1BB won per 100 hands, but I'm back to somewhere like .50BB won per 100 hands now :(
I hope December really picks up, it's going to be a big month for me because January is when I start the SNE chase. I cannot afford to lose.

Swingy Month So Far
Like the title says, it has been a swingy first week in November. I feel like i'm running normally, even though EV wise, I'm up like 6 BI's or so. Obviously EV can be misleading and it doesn't account for hands like this.
