Last night for instance, I was down $100 and manged to get back to $70 by the time I left - the juiciest time around 1am. I made two bad plays which probably cost me the other $30, and lost about $100 to hands like my flopped set of Kings (which I raised pre OTB and bet at all the way) to a rivered club flush (lady had pocket 8cXx). It happens. The only other casino I played at I was used to winning 50-75BB a night so maybe I'm just spoiled or card dead or not adjusting to this crew of regs and fish. Although those were KILL games at the other place, and that definitely made a difference to my bottom line.
I'll re-read SSHE again this weekend to make sure I'm not making any obvious leaks.
