I lost $209 on the tables and cleared $90 in bonuses for a total -$109 for the day. MEH.

Even like this, I managed to pull out a solid win of $241 + $82 in bonus cleared.
I was commenting about poker in general with a friend and we talked about this journal. I gave him the link to here and I told him to expect a bad beat story nonstop and how I wanted to change that. I wanted to stop posting BBs but if there is something SADLY remarkable at my game now, is the fact that i AM JUST GETTING BEAT AFTER BEAT. I cant deny it or cant simply ignore it.Tis is what I am getting and it would be good to have it documented for future referencesand even deep analysis. This bad side of variance has been around for way too much time, and i love when people say it is impossible for someone to run bad for that long. I know I am losing when I am favorite more than 90% to win way too often. Statistically, the numbers are not "correct" for me. Still, Iam winning at a very slow pace ina huge sample but I know I am in the right path to get better and eventually the cards will do better forme.
Time Played: 4.5 Hours.
Tables: 9-10
Amount Won: $241.
Bonus: $82.
. He checks and I put him in for about $45 more. He thinks for a while and calls with AJ.
