Now down about $500 for the year over my first 200ish games. Fun stuff.

Emotionally, this is becoming exhausting. I have not had a significant upswing since November 12th. I've had a few glimpses, and one steady positive streak that was incremental, but nothing off the charts like a lot of regs have.

2200 games in, I'm starting to once again question whether or not I'm a winning player overall. I'm down 26 BI at $13s and 15 BI at $25s. I'm about -$400 overall over the entire span.

I think if I hit something like -$700 I'm probably going to stop, in the short term.

In the long term, if I reach 5000 games as a losing player I'm definitely stopping.

It's interesting to consider that poker could very well be the same for me as Roulette or Blackjack - I might very well just have a losing expectation from the moment I walk into the casino.
