I'm not tilting

Pretty nasty session today.

Once again, through patience, some good running, and a firm dedication to thinking plays through, I'd managed to get my bankroll back to the point where I could take shots at 25NL.

And once again, I can't win races for the life of me. 99 v Q9? Nope. AK v JT? Forget it. 66 v 33? Fat chance. AK v KQ? Dead on the flop.

And yet, I'm remarkably emotionally calm.

Yes, I did make one very stupid play that cost me most of a stack, ignoring all the signs that my opponent had a very strong hand that he was never going to fold. I simply walked away and remonstrated myself for not paying enough attention to what was happening.

Yes, there's a big downward spike on my graph. But you know what? I got the money in good four times out of five. I can't do any better than that.

My mindset is getting better. My thought processes are improving, and it's very visible in my profit graph. I'm on the right path.
