And this wasn't even that long of a session, but the coolers and beats came out of the woodworks to get back at me for dodging them with all my short sessions! lol.

Oh btw, I had a Marshall28 sighting:

He managed to cooler me by rivering 2pair to beat my turned 2pair, right after I'd recovered my money from the maniac fish from the hand above. That's what the final dip in my graph is from, haha. Oh well.

Anyway not the end of the world, just a 2 bi loss. At least I played well. Made one bad bluff vs a nitty player but I really thought he would fold a lot. I think I may have fooled myself. I tried to do the bluff at a time when a bunch of waitlists had hit so I suddenly had 12 tables up and was a bit too distracted to give it full attention.

This is when those EV graphs are good - to help heal the heart while licking your wounds. haha

I got so excited about doing NL200 6max that I've had no desire to play more HU

and obv this isn't long by regular standards, just long by my months standards of 200-500 hands. See previous blog post for context. ^^
