Downswing or just playing bad?

lost a massive 1800 dollar pot on a draw, I had basically a open ended straight draw, and diamond flush draw on the turn. Decided to reraise it all in and poof, no help on river. Wont waste your time on specifics, that the nitty gritty of it. The game was 3-5 NL at the Tulalip Casino, it also doesnt help my mood that I oveheard some asshole say well there goes the money. I have had 4 straight losing sessions now, which is just not good for the savings account as well as the, psyche. Really need to think about my approach to poker and decide if its time to change up a few things.

Also just read about SWAT team invading the hotel in Manila, should be interesting.

Another Canada trip and WPT Bellagio 5 diamond

Its been a while since i have written anything but here goes. Played at the River Rock in Richmond BC last week and lost 1k doing stupid things in a game that could be easily beaten by playing ABC poker. I wanted to play in the 200 dollar satellite for the BC poker championships but it was full when i got there hence there was an alternates list. Didnt get to play in it, instead I donked it off playing 2-5 NL playing with some of Canada's finest. Upcoming on the horizon is my first big buy in tournament in Vegas, its the WPT 5 Diamond, a seat I won through a 250 dollar satellite. I've decided to use some vacation time instead of quittnig and see how things go in Vegas day by day. Wish me luck
