Default Long Session NO results

bleh!!!! What a day... yesterday was much better. Played for about 5 hours 1400 hands
and ended up having a -0.27BB/100 hands... Ended up $8 dollars since I cleared $10 in bonus money and sure I made some in rakeback but it always sucks when you grind away for that long and have nothing to show for it....

Weekdays only get to play like 1 1/2 hour a day so the weekends my big grinding session
but hey guess I shouldnt complain and least I didnt lose money today...

Hope everyone else had a better session today than me.

i dropped about 6 buyins yesterday without tilting. they were are coolers and suckouts.

i would have been stoked to break even. sometimes that is really all that you can ask for.

I'd consider that a solid session.

The ideal is to measure your session by how good the decisions you made were, but I always think to myself that at least it wasn't a 1,400-hand minus 7 buyin session.

I talked with mxrider on IM and he explains saying, "it just means that a winning player could go on a 1400 hour stretch and only break even."

My reply: "well that does me no good when in my less than 1400 hr session i'm $21k down and ready to just give up."

I mean really. I would have to go on the heater of all heaters to even come within the same zip code of breaking even!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really just need to accept the fact that I suck I guess Ugh ... congrats to all who continue to win. However, everyone's positive results just add more and more evidence that I really do suck ............................ UGH! Why do I feel like someone just punched me in the nose, kicked me in the nuts, and stole my damn lunch money???????????????????????????????????

Gonna take a nap and tr to forget about this
