Well today I sat down to play my usual cash game grind, 6 tables of 400NL. It started off well as I stacked someone early when I flopped a set and beat their overpair, but it was all down hill after that. I after about 6 hours of play I found myself down 4 buyins, $1600. Now I hate finishing a session down and after being down two buyins the day before I was determined to not to finish Thursday down.
So I contintued to play, doing my best not to tilt and also not to take extra gambles just because I was down and wanted to recover my losses. It took me another 5.5 hours but I got back up $400 on the session, leaving me down $400 over two days. 11.5 hours is definitly the longest session I've put in to date. Even toward the end though I felt really good and didn't think there had been much of a drop off in my play since the start.
I missed played some hands early to get down but I also lost two pots of about $700 each to 2 outers on the river. It was nice to recover though and it definitly helped get my confidence back up since I was feeling pretty down after losing 6 buyins. Now, it's time to get some sleep though since I'm pretty drained mentally after that session.
Halloween this weekend, which should be a ton of fun. I'm still not sure of my schedule but I'll definitly be out dressed as Maverick.
