Lesson In Humility

I had thought I was the bomb. I had thought I was untouchable.

But then I came to the realization that I was still definitely mortal and capable of losing. And I lost big.

I had reached an unprecedented level in my bankroll of $3,500 in the early parts of May. My ending balance is now:

$1090 cash
1 $25 token
$355 in rakeback
$600 withdrawn

Total cash is $2,070. total bankroll $1,470.

A far cry from the near $4,000 level but I am still surviving. What did I do wrong? it was a combination of bad beats, chasing bad draws and bad plays. I don't necessarily know which contributed the most but I do know that I played bad.

I guess admiting the truth is the first step in recovery.
