What Might Have Been: -$2258 Session
I’ve just blown through almost my entire PokerStars bankroll trying to sneak it over the $3k mark.
Three $10/20 LHE tables in less than an hour, each down $450-550 or so, then eight hands of $30/60 6-max. skidoo came by on the last hand as I raised it up with Ad-8d, got to callers, whiffed on the flop with small cards, bailed with a bet and a call, then the 8 hits the turn and takes the pot.
I’m in a bit of shell shock for several reasons. I did everything I articulated that I shouldn’t be doing: no braking system, etc, etc. I can’t think too straight right now as this is about fifteen minutes fresh here. Not a very positive ending for me right now, but there it is.

Me thinks you and I have the same problem with random bouts of self destructive behavior.

I’m a danger to myself and others, what can I say?

Have you given a lot of thought to table image? You are raising — evidently out of position — with a fair drawing hand. Have you had to show down with a lot of these? If so, it attracts people playing back at you. If you lose image, you have to change gears and tighten up a bunch.
You were showing a number of hands over in the forums for a while. By and large they were speculative hands that hit. Those are hands you want multi-way pots playing. You are often raising with them. Your raise can end up playing heads-up and out of position against the guy with the better hand and you are chasing from the git-go.
But maybe you shouldn’t listen to me. I am an atrocious limit player — even if the blurb for my blog says otherwise. I just get by in situations like HORSE games. I wouldn’t play 10-20L if money fell from the sky and filled my backyard.

CC,
Do you see as many flops at higher limits as at 2/4?
Don’t have pokertracker or accessries but you seemed to be in twice as many flops as I was and there weren’t that many people seeing each flop.
You also need to work on rivering quads against flopped boats
