Ugh. Downswings like this suck. I was actually up somewhere in the neighborhood of $40 early, but then I got really unlucky. Most of the money that I lost feels like it was on preflop raises that missed flops (~1-3 BB losses). I don't mind that.

In other news, I like the new DeucesCracked converter, and I'll be using that one from now on. It doesn't have HTML code to make some things bold or colored, but I don't mind. I prefer not having to change my position to "Hero" everywhere.
