2 $1/2 1230p 230p terrible luck and not great playing but mostly terrible luck. Probably shouldn't play in the daytime - players aren't as loose.

2 $1/2 715p 815p bad playing too aggressive? I dunno but not making hands and getting my butt kicked repeatedly is not fun. I'll try to tighten up a little more but stay aggressive after flop. Gonna take a little break and maybe not play again until Friday or Saturday.

tried the mini step to blow off some steam. It was very fun but I was tired when playing in step 2 and went all-in with AK on 5th hand and got called by AA (3rd AA in 5 hands for the table)

1 $2/4 bb. Tracked down a fish - table was an awesome 43%. No reason to play on anything else. Over the 55 minutes I was there there were no less than 5 fish - usually 3 at one time. KK got cracked or would've had a fantastic session. Not a lot of cards but played ok.

($1.50)
1 $2/4 bb 836p 936p started off on tight $2/4 bb and had good cards with no flops and lost $64. Changed tables and found a 43% one that paid off $62.50 in 40 minutes. Lost a big pot there with AK - pushed way too much. That's a leak in my game right now no doubt. If you miss the flop it might be time to slow down a little if you're playing with loosish players - ya think? :)
