Dec 12 - Grinding out a small win

I should really be doing nothing but studying right now, since my last 2 exams are 2 days from now. But clearly I'm too much of a poker degen so now here I am writing a blog post about my session from this morning (writing the post as a study break).

I generally don't play with a stop-loss, if I do have a stop loss it will be because I busted my roll (lol). But i do find i like to try and grind out a pre RB win when I can. So todays session started by losing like 8-9 games in a row, and they were all $10 buyins. So i was pretty tilted I basically ran terribly and got a bunch of 3rd places just out of the money and stuff. After losing these games I started to play $5 games instead, trying to grind back a win, and when I won a bit at the $5s I'd mix in some more $10 games and stuff, and eventually hacked away at a bit of my losses from those games

Finally, on game #137 i managed to crack the profit point and instantly stopped my session, my goal was to get back to even and i did. Shows how much variance could suck in poker, lose 8 games in a row and then need to grind well for 129 games just to get yourself back to even.

-Ended up winning $2.35 during the session
-Average ROI: 7.7%
-Total ROI     : 0.3%
-Rake Paid: $50.65 (so i ended up being like a $35 winner post RB)
