Return of the meltdown...

Well my insanely hot streak finally came to and end today, and a very abrupt one at that. Last night I was sitting on top of my most profitable month ever, but on this final day of August that record is now far out of sight. I started off by dropping about $120 before even getting out of bed thanks to a quick exit in a $20 HORSE sng and then five straight PLO8 heads up losses. That was just the beginning though. Later I would continue to get brutalized heads up including another streak of 6 straight losses, 4 or 5 of which were to the same guy which puts me on tilt perhaps more than anything else. For some reason when you play heads up and get owned by the same person game after game it really eats at me. Must be the ego part of my brain. Anyway, the final tally is I've lost 18 of my last 30, which may not sound like a major meltdown but given how I had been doing prior to that it seems pretty catastrophic. When you win and win and win you get accustomed to it and anything that departs from that pattern gets very hard to accept.

I've played a lot of games today on tilt which I know I absolutely should not do, but alas, I am human. Another thing, the players have been absolutely murder today. In my 30 games I can remember one player who was a total fish. Everybody else has been very tight/agressive/patient/nitty which really sucks. It's so bizarre how there are these days where just about everyone I play has a lot of skill. Other days, most days in fact, it's just the opposite.

One bright spot, I have won 3 in a row which is my longest streak of the day. Despite this setback August will still finish as a very good month for me.
