So, instead of moving back down to the $100 buyin, I decided to give the $200 buyin one more chance. If at first you don't succeed, try try again. This session was much better than the previous three. I wasn't getting incredible hands, but my great hands were holding up. I played for about an hour, and was quickly down $100. In the course of the next hour and a half, I gained $600 bringing me to a profit of $500 in two and a half hours of playing. Sweet.

I really needed that session to get my confidence back. Taking a loss has been very devastating for me. I think now I am beginning to figure out that there are days where I am not going to come out ahead. I need to learn to deal with these days and get over them. They are inevitable. The quicker I put these bad days behind me (but learn from my mistakes, if any), the better off I will be.
