Since my last blog entry I have gotten slaughtered. I have lost about 900k in PLO while running 150k under all in EV and getting cooler ed on a few occasions. I am done with playing big for awhile. Its just to frustrating and I am losing to much. Today my play fell apart for the first time during this downswing which made me realize I need to step down. I started off the day running about 200k below allin EV. After being stuck that much I took one beat and slammed a door. I get passionate about poker but I never let it greatly effect my personal life. Luckily no one was around today to feel the brunt of my frustration, so it was only the door which had to deal with it.

I have decided to move down in limits for the rest of the month. I am not going to play above 500/1k limit or 100/200 big bet until the month is over. This is unfortunate as it will effect the possible games I am able to play but hopefully it will help me get through this downswing. I have noticed as this downswing gets worse and worse its starting to effect my life outside of poker which I really hate.

This is my 2nd largest downswing and my largest in terms of time. I don't think I have ever had 2.5 months of this type of brutal losing. I am hopefully dropping down for the rest of the month will help me refocus.
