Recovering

I've played some more over the past few days and have more or less broken even. There have been a few hands that I've really butchered horribly, but I still feel like most of my losses are coming from getting coolered.

I'm still in the red for this go at NL50, which sucks, but at least I'm starting to feel a lot more confident in my ability to tell the difference between runbad and playbad. A big part of the misery of this downswing has been in not knowing whether I'm making good decisions but just running bad or whether I'm playing horribly, but since moving down to NL50 and especially over the past day or so, that feeling has started to subside somewhat. The frequency of difficult and confusing spots has decreased. I don't know if this is a function of NL50 just being that much easier or if it's just a function of the cards I happen to have been getting recently, but either way, it's definitely more comfortable than feeling totally lost and helpless. Whatever the cause of this phenomenon is, I hope it continues and allows me to build some confidence and achieve some peace of mind.
