This week was extremely frustrating and swingy. I found myself buried in a deep hole early into more of the sessions and was luckily able to get out of them. I was down 4 buyins ($100) a session 4 days this week and either ended the day with a profit or down < $10 when I quit. I'm actually very happy with this as it shows me that losing 4 buy-ins really isn't anything to get upset about and its always recoverable. I'm still running pretty terrible which is extremely depressing. The top graph shows that I'm really suffering from this and its killing my win rate and making it very frustrating to try and beat the game. I know it is just variance and I'll get the upside eventually, I just thought I might see it even out by now. I'm still optimistic in the future and having fun playing so that's all that matters.

I plan on depositing $600 on Stars within the first couple weeks of school to start taking advantage of the deposit bonus/stellar rewards before they reset at the new year.
