As you can see I had a rough week. I think there are several things that lead to my poor results, but it basically boils down to the fact that I started trying different things. I have never played four tables at one time before. I played four short handed tables at Party Poker at the same time on my laptop because of the new resizing software. NL Shorthanded games require a lot more attention than I was able to give while playing four tables at once. From now on, only 2 tables for me.

I, also, played quite a bit of heads up against some very very aggressive players. I would have sessions where I was up or down 2 buy-ins within 15 minutes. My new rule of thumb will be to drop down 1 level if I am going to play heads up.

Let me know if there are any particular stats that you would like to see when I post my end of the month results.
