Crazy day

Played about 2000 hands had about 27% vpip. I'm normally pretty stable, winning a few buy ins then losing a big pot and working upward again etc... Today, however, the first 600 hands I played ran into four set vs set (of course each time I lose the maximum) and KK vs AA. So very quickly I see my money dissapear im -$2700 playing $2/4 that's attrocious.
Had a lot of self-doubt at this point, talked to a few people they suggested logging off and starting fresh another day. I didn't know what to make of this so I continued playing. Next ~700 hands im break even, last 700 hands im +$2800 :) Finally things begin going my way, not that it was all skill - I did suckout a few times, but I feel that was only to balance out the bs that happened earlier. After all everything balances out over time.




Day total : +100 :) Memorable hands:

Welcome.

I've been playing poker for a while now (a little over 13-14 months so far) except I didn't make enormous profits untill recently. What I accomplished my first 6-8 months playing I can emulate in less than a week now. Becuase of this I am now taking poker more seriously and I want to see how far I can go with it. My goal is to accumulate at least 100K this summer, I set 100K as a minimim, I do actually expect to make more.


The biggest road-block for me so far has been my school. I am taking mechanical engineering at Ryerson (Toronto, Canada) - that means 6-7 courses every 4 months full of physics, calcalus, programming etc... which means I have to do a ton of work and I'm constantly tired and burned out so I can't play as much as I would like to. Now that it's summer time I'm gonna play "full time" and see where that goes.

Lets see where this goes :)
