Roadblock: Another uphill battle

Tip of the day: Going up limits will put you on tilt for several different reasons.

It's always been an uphill battle for me from going from 200nl to 400nl. Everytime I've played 400nl I've gone on tilt and have only eventually lost. I feel like I can finally play this limit but the amount of money hurts really bad when I lose. If I take a bad beat it's devestating. I just have to keep working... it'll come I know it.

Analysis: I was out of position, I got outplayed I wont make this mistake again. Once in the hand though, there was nothing much I could do as my hand was a premium against anthing besides a set. If I missed anything feel free to comment on how I shouldn't have played this hand out of position. I usually have feelings and go with them... this one didn't turn out well.
Update: I just looked at the odds and thought they were different. If I were to play this hand again I would bet into them. Wont make that mistake again. My apologies for this abomination of a play.

All of these boundaries would easily be solved if I were staked. I just have to do it the hard way like everyone else. AT least I wont miss anything along the way :<...

YTD: -$500
