Hrm, well... Uh. Wow.

Okay, seriously taking a break after dropping another 10 buyins yesterday. What a rollercoaster the last few days have been. NOT playing today, or in tonight's MMN on Chiptalk, nor playing tomorrow, or possibly even Wednesday.

After some quick analysis, I think that I was pushing too many hands on the flop or turn. Even though I was ahead, people were still calling their entire stacks on draws. Mostly flushes that made it, or flopped sets improving to boats on the river to beat my made straight or flush. Pretty sick to lose that many coinflips in a night. The poker Gods were clearly not with me. Time to watch some more videos on DC and hopefully the Gods will move on to some other shlub.

Something new (to me anyway) was the Pokerstars anti-bot defense. I had never seen it before, and it was a welcome bit of tech. Keep making it harder for those cheaters 'stars!

Also, tried my hand at PLO25. Let's just say that I'm not quite there yet. Got it all in on the flop with an overpair and a flush draw and missed against opponent's obvious Aces.
