No safe harbor

This year, I've been in poker freefall. There's no safe harbor for me right now. No poker flavor I try has been able to turn around my fortunes. I need to batten down the hatches and ride out this horrible slump somehow. How's that for a collection of mixed metaphors? :-)

Let me try to quantify just how bad this year has been. I never had a loss in any year prior to this one, and right now I'm at a loss of $994,558 for 2015. There's not much chance I can end this year in the black, but I'll do my level best. My overall blue distance is now at an all-time high of $1,877,607. It feels inevitable that it'll hit $2,000,000 before it turns around. My cash game no limit hold'em blue distance is now at an all-time high of $966,852. It feels inevitable that it'll hit $1,000,000 before it turns around. Here's the breakdown by style and flavor of how I've fared this year:

    sum  count          avg    style       flavor
=======  =====  ===========  =========   ================
 132300    184     719.0217  Sit & Go    No Limit Hold'em
  38020     60     633.6667  MTT         8-Game
   2600      1    2600.0000  Sit & Go    HORSE
 -13372     18    -742.8889  MTT         No Limit Hold'em
 -64160     25   -2566.4000  MTT         HORSE
-536690     35  -15334.0000  Sit & Go    8-Game
-553256     37  -14952.8649  Cash game   No Limit Hold'em


I can't seem to stick to any resolution I make. Maybe I should stop making them :-) Looking at the style and flavor numbers, sit and go no limit hold'em is looking mighty tempting right about now. It's one of the few bright spots of the year.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 47 hands and saw flop:
 - 5 out of 8 times while in big blind (62%)

 Pots won at showdown - 3 of 7 (42%)
 Pots won without showdown - 1

delta: $-100,000
