Stuck, Nose Dive Continues…

March just blows, plain and simple. I've never had a month where no matter what I do, it's wrong. I'm playing breakeven poker at 50nl (for goodness sakes ... 50 nl ... unreal) and seeing great hands busted by runner runners, and AIPF losing no matter what the situation was today. Tonight was just uber-frustrating, it was a super swingy night that had the hopes of turning around and then at the end came CRASHING to a thud and ending up -$118 for the day and played (again) $50 below EV. Not a horrible day but still... two steps forward yesterday and now a step back.

I am not sure where this leaves me poker wise. The debate last week was if I really wanted to keep this up ... if maybe unloading 75% of my roll and just starting over was the better option. Kinda feels like that might be the case at this point. I'm going to wait until the end of March to make a decision. Putting myself through this day in and day out isn't worth the f'ing pennies I am taking down when I do win.

I guess I am super sensitive to bad days or bad sessions since it's been 5 weeks since I've been able to win consistently (defined as a period of 3 days in a row). In 15 months this has never happened, so I am running out of ideas at this point for a remedy. This morning it felt like a weight was off my shoulders and now it seems like it's back on. I just don't know what to do.

Here's today's low-lights:

Tried to get it in, ended up shoving into the nuts (I did hit my Ace high flush though):

Villain is a 45/7/1 and I hang myself and hand him my stack. Seems pretty standard to try to get it in. Oh well.

Not a big pot but just a good example of the crap I am going through...

This guy is a 32/26 with a 18% 3bet number ... wow. I run like crap.
