Greetings fellow demi-gods, the first week is over and down about 20BI including last months makeup, gets a bit disheartening when things aren't going so great in daily life as well, but I'm a tough git so I'll bounce out of it soon enough. Plenty of stickability, that's what you need in this game.

Thing is, the last time someone said to keep my chin up and put my best foot forward I feel down a manhole ...
On a more positive note, I got a video review from the one and only w34z3l, courtesy of the mighty
@Jon-PokerVIP who has been watching my graph slip-slide away nearly as fast as my confidence,

Kinda tough lately, people just do not want to get their money in the middle, often even when they have the goods. It makes for a long hard day when maybe just one or two iffy calls or bad runouts and it's bye bye session in the last 15 minutes or so.
Here's a nice wtf by way of illustration,.

Spidey senses going off again or I'd have bet harder, didn't expect that though.
The good thing is it keeps one focused, because if not ...see above. The last two days have been just like that, up 1 or 2BI then down to scratch, then up, then back down, ending in a small loss of a BI or so and loooonggg periods of getting nothing or being 3bet to death - but only if you raise light though!
Having said all that, my
video review was when I was at a very low ebb, a perfect time for it. I really didn't think I could play that bad anymore; w34z3l called it a train wreck which, if it wasn't so accurate might actually have been funny - he seemed to think it was anyway!

I made another vid of 4X nl10 and 2X nl20 after taking some notes, played good - I think(!) - and tried some bet sizing exploits. Peruse at your leisure unless you have a life, it 's 30 minutes and the sound didn't record for whatever reason; shame, I was so entertaining to! Noob.

So, game back on track and confidence a lot better after yesterday's session. Now, what's next; oh ye, try winning that always helps. Tit.
