Over the past 3 weeks my bankroll has gone from 4.5K to 2.5K. Some of that was $200nl, but most of it was $100nl. I'm generally very very good about letting the bad beats roll off me, but it's starting to get tough.
If anyone who has been through this has any words of encouragement, I'd love to hear them. I've been pleased with myself for sticking with it, as I believe most people in my shoes would have called it quits sometime last week. But man, after today, I feel like I'm getting close.
At this point I think I might be starting to push my hands too much, so here are a few from today. They are also all in my journal.
