It's commonly known, that poker is a very unsure source of income over a short period of time.
"No! If I 24table NL50 FR 15 hours a day, I can't lose!  mwhahahahah, FU variance!", is what I thought.
Well, turns out I was wrong 
I played for 30 hours total during friday and saturday. I broke even (and that's only thanks to Sunday Million SNGs). It's all OK though coz I are dunecat!
On a more serious note now: even though I think I was running very bad, this made me question my play of course. I think it's nearly impossible for one to lose this way if he's playing at least decent - the probability of this is definitely much much lower than the probability that one's a donk.
I was very confused at first - for the most part, I was playing standard low-variance ABC poker, the way it's worked for me in the past when mass-tabling at the low-mid stakes - and still was losing. But as I didn't want to believe that this is just pure bad luck, I was searching till I actually found some leaks. Most importantly, I was definitely being too agressive in certain bad spots (this is also, I believe, why I was having some sick swings lately)... I brought this idea up before Joe, who thought for a while and then agreed that it's probably true. Another thing that played a role is definitely that I just wasn't playing focused enough or, more precisely, not thinking enough about most spots, the more "trivial" ones in particular. Normally this wouldn't be that big of a deal as I was used to playing lots of tables really fast, but after the downswing I had, I just wasn't in a good enough shape to handle this. So my plan in FR will now be to play a few sessions of just about 12 tables (maybe even less, I'll see) and when I can crush the game again, I'll switch to playing more again. I used to have some very nice winrates on nl100 and nl200 before, so this shouldn't be that big of a problem, I hope.
UBB code: 
1) Somehow, not all the hands are included. I was actually down less and also made up for it with SNGs.
2) Sick rake. Why does there have to be a rake? *&$#%^ ;p
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Besides FR though, I've played some 6-max too. On friday, Joe offered me (by himself - he's sometimes a very cool guy ^_^) that he'll sweat me for a while if I want. "Why not?", I replied. And as Joe is no FR player, I loaded up some 6-max tables. I definitely picked up something during that session, but because Joe unfortunately has an aura that devours everyone's luck and adds it to his own, I ended up losing $150 (I think I've always lost when he's sweated me ;p).
Then again on Saturday, when I was quite frustrated from how FR was going, I decided to put my roll on Cake Poker to play some SH. I had rakeback there, a deposit bonus and the games were rumoured to be extremely soft. Saturday evening and all of today (played for only about 8 hours today though) I was 4-tabling nl50 6max there. The players were really terrible and although there were some runner-runners, I managed to win about $400 there (also probably about $100 from RB). Somewhere in between, I also watched a CardRunners 6-max vid by Brystmar and picked up a few interesting tips. After today's session, I now have found some sick things the players at Cake like to do and that I can exploit easily. For example, everyone loves to bluff pot on the river - they do this sooo often (probably caused by the combination of the bet pot button and their retardedness).
There's a sad bottom line to playing on Cake though. The software crashes extremely often, at least for me. What's worse, sometimes it will start flickering all of a sudden and fills all of my screen (actually my both screens) with artifacts. I tried searching different forums but found no solution. I tried messaging support, but it's been over 24 hours and they haven't answered me 
Unless I can fix this, which is not likely as long as I'm playing on the same PC, I can't really play here. I've survived this for 2 days, but enough is enough. I'm moving my roll back to PS, where I'll probably play both FR and 6-max.
Take care and sorry for the length. ;p
