I feel that I'm back in my groove again and playing awesome. I've posted 4 winning sessions in a row to start pulling back some of the losses from earlier in the month!!!

One of the main contributors to my recovery of confidence was a Full Ring session that I played w/ BJJIII the other night. It was right at the tail end of that 10buyin downswing and he saw some of the beats that were coming my way. With him there to IM me in real time, I was reassured that the decisions that I was making were the right ones. He did almost stack me w/ his AK vs my AQ though Luckily, I can get away from TPGK. BJJIII wasn't so fortunate, even though he was the one doing the raising, he doubled the villain up. Luckily the villain was a shorty so it didn't cost BJ quite that much.

I seem to have picked up 2 percentage points on my pfr% too, I think that the studying that I accomplished over this short downswing has led to that. It was definitely a learning experience, and I'm grateful for it, I just wish that I could get those 10 buyins back before month's end!!!

Here's to playing better!!!!!!!!!!
