Happens :(. Just set a stop/loss to 50BB and you should be fine. Maybe take a break after a couple of bad beats to clear your mind and be able to concentrate later ;).

The day after was the same. Insta-loss.
today was good but strange.
Played about 600 hands... I was really a hitmachine... lots of sets, flopped a few straights, hit a FH etc... but it seemed like I got rivered every time!
Straights didn't win. Had set over set happen a few times.
And this one was fun:
heads-up against a tag:
me 99
flop 789: I cap
turn 6: cap
river rag: 2 BB go in
He shows ATo.
And another hand went the same. Only he had 2pair on the flop while I had a set. We both hit a FH on the river but he hits a higher one.
There's no need to get my graph from HEM. Cause it looks like this:

This month so far is also very strange. I have a very high W$SD of 53.5% but I only got 0.3 BB/100 lol. I have really lost a lot of big pots so far.
I'll be gone next week to France for business. I want to have 10000 VPP at the end of the month to cash the 160$ bonus. So I need to keep on playing about 300 hands per day in what's left of the month.
I hope I'll make it cause then my bankroll is okay again for $1/$2. It is 850 now 
Thanks for the encouragement. I guess it helped
I'm at 1.26 BB/100 now after 400 more hands.
I'm also well on track to get the 160$ VPP bonus at the end of the month. So I may have a bankroll of 1500$ in a few days, which is pretty scary since a few posts below I only had 850.
It feels to me like I only started playing $1/$2 like 2 weeks ago. I'm just so new at this limit. And now I'm already halfway to reaching $2/$4 ♠_o:
I'm only realizing now... at the beginning of the year I was still struggling at 0.25/0.50. It's a wonderful feeling! Just multiply this feeling by 5 and that must be how a Yoghi feels.

FYP
And keep going fella - this is me waving as you rock on past... *wave, wave*
I guess luck is evening out now. It's not going so well at the moment.
I only won 21BB in the last 800 hands.

Mate, anything >= $0 is a good result! 8k - 10k hand break even stretches have been the norm for me at pretty much every limit I've played.
Dunno if you saw it, but Amirapuato had a 228k hand b/e run at $1/$2 SH. 
Anyway, keep working hard on your game and you'll continue to do well in the medium to long run!

Sorry dude, I'm clearly just over senthitive atm...
Crap session today.
I was sitting at pretty good tables but did very bad in multiway pots. Very swingy session and I tilted after a LAG 3bet me preflop for the 30th time and hit the board. Of course I paid his turn check/raise off.
I'm on such a heater it's unbelievable! My bankroll is around $1680 now and I'm running at 1.57 BB/100 after 14600 hands at $1/$2. This month has been absolutely incredible. I beat my monthly record of $177. Cause this month I made $688 :). That's without counting bonusses.
Concerning bonusses: I bought the instant $160 credit at pokerstars. I cleared the $16 bonus also.
I'm thinking of bonuswhoring a bit the following months. Maybe clearing the FDP at Everest. But I'm not so sure how much traffic there is.
If all is "normal" next month which means 1BB/100 for me, I could be playing $2/$4 in August! Let's hope all goes well because I'm a little afraid of getting a downswing after all this fast success.
Don't get too excited
I was running with 7.7 bb/100 for 15k hands and then...
the downswing hit;
from 2.2k (I didn't even try 2/4) --- now I have 1.7 
Zivkoleo have you ever realized you may be clearvoyant?
This is my session for today: -98$. I got average cards but when I hit something I always lost against something better. I had two instances of 2pair vs higher 2pair and set under set.
WTSD 39
W$SD 33
I got kinda annoyed around hand 500 and I wanted to leave cause I felt I was going to tilt. But the problem was I couldn't. I had two 55 VPIP fishes in my right at all 3 of my tables! So I kept on playing... ♦
As you can see I had a good run in the end where I won a few showdowns
After all this month has been incredibly good. I just continue to improve my game and I'm curious what will happen in July
Here's todays graph:
And here's June.
Damn.. you played 2/4; How is the feeling up there 
Edit: btw how many tables do you play
Hehe yea I was following the dutch FL coaching and there was a complete MEGA fish at 2/4 and the coach was sitting right behind him. So when the coaching was about to end I lined up and took the fish's money ♦
I try to have 3 good tables at all times. While I play I search for the best table in the lobby and I open it. So then I have 4 tables and after I sit down I usually close the worst table I'm sitting at.
So I usually play 3 tables and I play 4 when all my tables are good.
The last 6000 hands my non-showdown winnings have increased dramatically. I don' t know why... am I actually becoming a good player? ♦
