Rut

Edit: Blogspot is the worst for format.

I can't seem to pull myself out of this rut I am currently in. Everytime I think I am going to snap out ofit, I get hit with the cooler/variance hands. I played two sessions yesterday and in the first I finished up 2 BIs, happy about my play and how thigns were going, it felt like things were getting back on track and then book, I play a second session, where I get the following hands - for a BI each - in a span of about 10 minutes:

- KK < AA
- KQ < QQ on KQxtt
- QQ < AA on AQx
- AK < KK on Axx (I checked to induce and he shoved with the flush redraw)

The good news is that these hands weren't played poorly and I do feel I played okay for the session, just frustrating to not see any results this month. I know, I know, results orientation, it doesn't mean anything, just was hoping to get some debt paid off before kid #2 comes along. Al I can do is improve and I watched a few videos recently to see if I could learn a thing or two I may be doing wrong. Basically I need to realize everyone isn't always playing back at me (a feeling change more than a play change, confidence is important), and I need to go back to being tigher OOP, it is too tough to overcome playing pots OOP with a marginal range. I was loosening my range due to players in the blinds at certain tables, but getting called and playing pots OOP is makign this not worth it I think. I will keep working on my game and trying to improve and we'll see what happens.

On a brighter note, I will post some pics of my garage progress, it will be finished tonight, which is pretty exciting.
