Stumbling Into August (8/5/2012)
Sunday, August 5, 2012 at 4:45AM It's been a long frusterating, humbling past two weeks. Since I retured from Vegas I can't win a session. An awesome 6 consecutive losing sessions for -3.8k in 38 hours at 5/10.
The problems just never seem to end. First, I couldn't find a game for an entire week. When the action is somewhat good I become strangely card dead, auto dealt out of the game. Every cbet fails, every double barrel fails, villain's are smashing the top end of their range against me. When I do hit a value hand I'll be sure to drag a $60 pot.
And this is what seems to happen every time I take a shot at high stakes.
But I'm not ready to back down yet. I have my finances in order. I'm still over-rolled for 2/5 and I'm sticking to my plan. 5/10 is a huge jump, but this is the time to stay focused. I'm not running good or bad, when I wake up it's the present.
And I don't plan on sitting in this bum-fuck city when I can't find a game or win a session. I'm giving it another week of patrolling around here, then I'll be on the road again. Time to make sacrifices and not have a life indefinitely. I'm sick of this shit, year 3 is going to be a war for the better or worse.

Nice text!
People often find that playing higher steaks than they are used to helps then evaluate their play better, as they are thrown in to unfamiliar territory and playing with a lot more cash. At times they find they wont be able to play as many hands, and the overall experience helps you to discover how to play better.
