"No-mentum"

"Without bankroll management, you'll always be redlined."

Hardly news, still it continues to be my most challenging obstacle. I knew it before someone I look for advice said it to me earlier this year, though hearing it said to me was helpful.., somewhat.

I do feel as though I have been making some decent progression in my ability. I've played roughly the average volume lately since my previous blog. Looking over the 2015 calendar goals I made earlier in the year I'm not doing terribly. I'm slightly above my quota for hours played, though if I continue to be without wheels of my own for very long that's likely going to be more expensive to maintain. Bankroll management aside, my reading/study target is very daunting.

My last day's sessions ended pretty frustratingly. In reflection, there were a lot of hands that turned away from my realizing victory and the sum of those hands easily outweighed the pocket aces (hold'em, in a fantastic chip-up spot) I had cracked in my last half hour. Neither a big deal or an especially large loss on the day either, though yesterday & today I definitely feel drawn more towards relaxing vs getting back at it.
