Not a fantastic session. I called too much and got caught in too many bluffs. Admittedly, I was bluffing too much because I was trying to get back to even, whihc was a pretty dumb strategy to begin with. Decided in the end to quit for the day, as I'm obviously not anywhere near my best right now.

This session just illustrates for me the importance of playing tight and being conservative. Yes, it is possible to win with a loose-aggressive style, and there were times when I felt I was on the edge of being able to do that successfully. But ultimately, at least at this level, where a lot of players struggle to lay down MPNK, I need to play tighter to keep progressing. Thanks to yesterday, I am still up, on the last couple of days.

No more updates for a while. I'm off to the Download festival tomorrow, so nothing until at least next Tuesday. Maybe even longer, as I'm at my parents for a week after that and they're not so comfortable with the internet poker deal.
