I lost $1,636.15 today, marking my second largest losing day ever (the largest loss is detailed in the first post of this blog).
The majority (~$1,500) of it was lost in 30/60 HL Stud.

I basically never scooped a big pot, when someone would donk call down with a trash hand(example below), never hit my draws for half, and pretty much got screwed in every way possible. I guess I won't be back at the 10/20 or 30/60 tables soon. Surprisingly, the players at 30/60 are quite bad, but they are aggressive causing high variance.

I withdrew about $5k and left about $2k to play with. I don't need this kind of aggrevation of high limit poker. I also don't need an extra $3k a month from grinding, so I begin to question why the hell I am basically wasting all my free time away from work playing poker.

In fact this idiot tarcards won a bunch of pots with idiotic hands and screwed me over about 4 times on both tables. He was not the only one, I couldn't win vs. any of them.
