So, I do all this talking about my goal and tracking my play and then I disapear for 8 days during which I lose 90% of my stake coming back with absolutely no insight into what was hurting my performance. Although this is typical of how things go when you are steaming(and yes you can steam for 8 days if you are playing in 2 hours bursts), it does not help me to prevent such a downswing the next time. Most downswings are not indicative of terrible play. Remember, excellent play only gives you a slight advantage over average play in terms of short term monetary outcome, so it doesnt necesscarily take much too give away that advantage and more.
so my take aways in lieu of any hard data are:
1) Play the cards you have
2) Don't try to beat one player that you think is weak
3) Don't let it get personal, it's not.
not much but I will try harder next time to document my decisions during a run of "bad luck"
