I haven't been playing for too long but my last session was by far the worst i have played.
Started with a BR of $61 and after a couple of hours and suckouts I was down by $28.
This hand almost tipped me over the edge

Let's just say I was not impressed with how this turned out lol.
I continued to play, and I am really working on not tilting like I have tended to do when this happens.

I'm thinking now I should have checked the river but the last thing i said to myself was, he can't have an 8. How wrong was I.
So I am considering now if I should quit or play on. I decide to buy in again and be aware that I might be about to tilt so I am very strict with myself and play very tight.
I eventually get this hand where I think my luck is going to turn

I felt sick here. I couldn't believe it.
To end on a better note I played on for a couple more hours and slowly built up my BR again and ended the session about $5 down from where I started.
