The week of the fish! (me)

How is it possible to go from having one of the best weeks ever and playing so well to playing so badly and loosing back most of what I won last week. I just dont understand sometimes. Here is a graph of the week.

Cant upload for some reason.

Im down $1100 which means I need to drop to the $100's. I had to take out some cash to live on and after the last week I am not rolled enough for the $200's. Im not far off but.

I made some terrible plays this week. Here are a few and why they are terrible.

Hand 1

Need to bet the flop so I can force out the draws.
Fold to that turn raise with just a pair in the blinds.
Fold to the super overbet on the river without the nuts.

This could be one of the worst hands I have ever played. I made a bad read that he had an overpair but it was a silly call on the river. No excuses for that.

Hand 2.

This is a really tough spot but in a 5 way pot I have to asume someone has a set. I got unlucky that the other full stack had it and the odds were not thst bad for me to push here.

Hand 3

When he pushed it was obvious that he beat a pair of Kings. It was a foolish call but these things happen and I have stacked him before with poor hands.

Hand 4

I got unlucky here and ran into a bigger house but I should not have been in the pot in the forst place.

I did make some bad plays this week but also some good laydown and good reads. I lost the smaller pots which usually are my money makers. I seem to have tightened up and I am playing scared now but hopefully dropping to the $100's will change this.

I am glad that the week is over as now I can mentally but all the bad play behind me and start afresh. I know I can turn it around this week.
