It's good to run even. You get coolered but you also cooler other people just about the same amount. Most of your good hands hold, but sometimes they lose. You play well and actually make money and it feels nice. I really like running even. Fuck heaters that instill false hope and a sense of godliness which only leads to a horrible soul crushing crash into the bottom of a case of beer. Fuck downswings that last for months and turn you into a raving asshole that pushes all the people close to him away. Running even is where I feel best, finishing sessions with a modest win that reflects the way I played. Fuck yeah.

On that note, here's my weekend of running even and the nice results. I played 2 sessions a day for the last 3 days. Friday was all wins, Saturday I broke even twice, and today I had a 4 BI win that turned into a 1 BI win by running bad right at the end (but leaving before tilting), and then a really nice 4 BI session to end the day which was mostly realized thanks to one massive pot vs a mega fish right at the end.

Funny cause at the beginning of the week I managed to have a very spewy session and lose like 9 buyins. Now I recovered and more. Very close to 4k and once I hit it I'm going str8 to NL200 cause I KNOW I can beat it, especially with some good table selection and sakisaki coaching me through the move up. I haven't felt this good about poker in a long time and am really excited to get into NL200. Last time I tried to move up I wasn't even good enough to truly beat NL100 and NL200 pwn'd me. Now I know I can do it, just need to get the roll together first! Hopefully by the end of the week I can be taking my NL200 shots after starting coaching. Just gotta keep running even! =)
