Only managed to get one session in today. Went to the gym. Finished reading The Outsider, a poker book will be next: Applications of No Limit Holdem by Matt Janda. Will put in more study time after this post.
Pretty happy with how I played, don't think I made too many mistakes. Redline could be a concern but let's wait on more hand samples.

Will be back tomorrow with more volume and hopefully play better and run better.

Played a lot today and it didn't really go well...
Chasing losses while tilted is the worst thing one can do. Definitely played horrible despite running bad range wise, set over set, villains flopping straights and flushes in 3bet, 4bet pots. Keep making good folds with good hands then get tilted and start paying off on even bigger pots. QQ< AA, KK < AA, doesn't feel good to suck out...Might take tomorrow off to work on my mental game and review bad hands.
I am not giving up, I shall embrace the swings, accept my mistakes, improve my game and battle on.

Hello, I'm back with an update! Played 2 sessions today and they didn't go too great either. Kept losing the big pots when I have a strong hand.
So I took yesterday off to review some hands. Aside from straight up coolers and tilt spew, these are the hands that I am not sure if it's just bad luck or bad play.
H1: Thought about folding flop, but decided that it's very unlikely to have a flush with the AK on board.
H2:Still think my hand is strong enough to take this line for value against the average 10z range.
H3: Turn sizing is too small given flop slow play. As played do we exploit fold river?
H4: I am flatting everything JJ+, AK here. Should I have raised pre? I know this is a rare spot but it sucks that I had to fold.
H5:Can we feel pretty good about this fold?
H6: pretty clear river fold right? I was very tilted when I played this hand, after having to fold the previous 2 hands... Also not sure what I tried to accomplish with the turn 2bet lol
H7: This was also at the end of a tilting session...
H8: I know this is overplayed, but given what villain showed up with, is our hand strong enough to take this line for value?
Also does anyone know if LeakBuster is a good program to identify leaks? I have the free version that comes with HM2 and apparently it gave me a rating of A+ but since I am not doing so well I don't know if it's accurate.

Also does anyone know if LeakBuster is a good program to identify leaks? I have the free version that comes with HM2 and apparently it gave me a rating of A+ but since I am not doing so well I don't know if it's accurate.

Thanks for all the good luck wishes. I only played 2 sessions yesterday and today, but I've been doing some readings and keeping up with my studying schedule. I also take some time off poker to relax and enjoy life.
Talk about good luck:
Think turn call is probably a mistake, shove looked like turned 2 pair, 78h, 89h was just hoping there's enough random spaz in there as well. Given it's multi-way I think it's fine to overfold when there doesn't seem to be enough bluffs and hard to see worse value hands even against fish. When the last guy raises I know I'm dead lol.
Think this is pretty spewy, although I do play 33 44 and slowplayed flushes exactly the same way and given his flop sizing I don't think he ever has a boat or flush too often.
Finally got a hand and fish snap shoved:
vs fish who don't fold pairs. This is definitely terrible play by me as well because it should have been an easy bet/call since raising keeps his bluffs out and range narrow. I was very tilted at the time and didn't want to see an A on the river vs his random garbage or A9.
I'm probably not playing any more sessions tonight. I do believe that having these rough sessions at the start of a challenging is actually a blessing in disguise as it teaches me about perseverance and trains my mental game. Hopefully I can book some solid winning sessions next time.
