Moving Down

Been a rough few weeks for me. It's been impossible to get anything going in tournaments or cash games. I seem to be going on tilt real easy too since every time I do get a little momentum going and either get a nice stack in a tournament or get up a few buy-ins in a cash game I get coolered or sucked out on.

Besides the few times I've gone on tilt though I really think my play has been solid. Considering I seem to be letting the beats really get to me I've decided to move down from playing 2/4nl and 3/6nl to 1/2nl for a while. I'm gonna make myself play 20k hands there before moving back up. I figure this will help me work through the rut I'm in. Also, playing at lower stakes the money isn't as significant to me and when I get coolered or take a bad beat it's easier to just forget it and move on to the next hand.

I've already put in 3.5k hands and while I have done pretty well I still seem to be running horrible. Had 3 sets today lose to runner runner flush and another lose to an overpair that hit its two outer. I did get lucky today and get AA against KK but then got KK against AA twice. The play is much worse at 1/2nl though and it's been a nice change of pace from the 2/4 and 3/6nl games.

Sucks to be moving down right before Vegas but hopefully I can get a little rush going now and have it carry over to there. I leave early Thursday morning and will be driving through Denver to catch a Rockies game before continuing to Vegas.
