It was another rough time out, even though the table was good. I just can't pick up cards when I need them. Absolution sweated me and he seemed to think I wasn't totally out of line, so I'm willing to blame variance, too. I did make a few river calls and such that I probably could have gotten away from, but those were small things.

Just as a side note, I'm $49 from BUSTO at this level.

Hand 1: Villain was raising light preflop (54o) and kept up the aggression when he had the lead, but I had not really seen much of his river play. He was aggressive enough that I felt he could bluff.
