This last day hurt a lot. I started off playing really well and running well, and went 8-2 in the first 10 games. Which means an absolutely atrocious 6-13 for the latter 19.
It was astonishing how everything turned. It started with just running really badly and spite-rematching a couple of absolute droolers who just couldn't miss several times. By the time I was done being pounded by those two, I was just tilting super-hard and very clearly not playing well.
I should have stopped several games ago, but at least I stopped.
This is a long-run game, and there will be swings up and down in the short run. I'll be fine as long as I can remember that, observe my play objectively, and just keep making lots of good decisions.
Time to sleep it off so I can get back to the grind tomorrow.

Grind Report: March 1, 2010
20-12 at the 57.50 turbos on PokerStars.
BR: $1453.64
Putting in this much volume, even 2-tabling, takes some effort and a reasonable amount of time.
Ideally, I'd like to find a way to get 35-40 games more quickly. I took lots of breaks/mini-review session today, as I'm not used to 2-tabling for so long. I'm going to aim for slowly increasing the continuity of my sessions, but take breaks the moment that I notice my focus, discipline, or emotional control starting to drift.
More and more I'm convinced that winning the mental game is ~95% of what it takes to be a winning player at HUSNG's (at least at the stakes I'm playing and below).
Until this year, I was a breakeven/losing player who couldn't crack the 22's, and the only real difference between now and then is that I have perspective and discipline/control now that I didn't then. My graph was one of slow and steady upward progress punctuated by sharp, sudden downswings. It's amazing what a drastic impact a simple change in mindset can have.
