July is here

So far I have played 4,200 hands and am running at 3.75ptbb/hr. I made a gigantic error today costing me a full buyin $400. It was a very very very dumb thing I did and I'm quite upset with myself over it. It was not out of anger I just was not thinking clear, ohh well shit happens. Although today was a losing day I made an OK comeback. I got bluffed out of a monster when I reraised the river with A8 on a 106582 board. He flashed 83 which pissed me off because I had him beat. He shoved, I folded, then he flashed. I guess I put a bad beat on this guy at some point because he then berated me in the chat. I asked him if he wanted to multi table heads up and he left the next hand, obv. too scared to play me. I then got put in a weird spot after raising KJ in the co and the bb called. Flop came AQ4d, turn was the 10d giving me the nuts. I bet the flop hard with nothing, bet the turn hard with the nuts, the river was the 3d, idiot checks, I bet my last $170 and he calls with 9d8d with a flush. I don't really understand his play. It was hard to put him with the ass end of the straight, and then very hard to put him on a flush. I shoved the river for value and think it was a good play with a bad outcome. Very odd plays as of late, people check raising the river with odd shit and all that. I played way too long today and noticed it affect my mood. I think I played OK but just ran into a ton of odd and bad spots with good hands. I'm just going to try to remain calm and play my A game and not let things get to me. I would like to run at 5ptbb/hr this month. 5ptbb/hr means you're a large winner in the games. 3.75ptbb/hr means your a good, winning player in the games.
