Didn't quite get in as much play as I expected over the weekend although still managed a couple hours. They turned out to be a couple hours of pain.
On Interpoker i'm running at -17bb/100 over 500 hands at $2/4. I'm still down on my W$SD, but what is really costing me is that i'm not managing to win ANY of the very large pots. There's been several 25BB+ pots where i've held the 2nd nuts on the river, or i've been in front until a nasty river card. Just one or two of those and i'm back all square.
Couple that with a brief couple sessions on the $1/2 tables where I managed to run at a negative -40BB/100 over 200 hands and its not a pretty picture. My went to showdown was an amazingly low 20%, and couple that with a W$SD of 30%, and theres no way that my end results are going to look any good.
I think that basically puts me back to square one for the month, although i've accrued some bonus cash on Bodog and done 1/3 of the 1,500mpps I require on Interpoker to clear the bonus there which will put my monthly result positive ... for now. Hopefully it turns around soon, as without bonuses i figure i've lost around 120BBs from my peak bankroll, which is a nasty little swing. I guess it also demonstrates the importance of good bonuses/rakeback.
The thing is, I haven't even been playing that badly. I don't think i've tilted at all, and my table selection has been very solid, always playing with a number of big fish, and always with position on at least one of them.
Its still short of my worst run of around -300BBs ... hopefully it doesn't go that bleak!
Current bankroll: $13,150

Your ability to analyse your play, realise that it is just variance and not tilt will see you end the month in positive territory I'm sure.
HMMMM......very interesting . I run so much on confidence that this would really throw me . I shall be watching with interest . It's hardly necessary for a player who is + $13,000 but good luck anyway . Adam
