poker gods hate me

it's like the worst day ever. i know, EV is still below zero but it's mostly due to poor play in the beginning(standard). i was shortstacking 25nl in the beginning and theres less room for good play obviously. most of the time it's a coinflip situation, so i've decided to "move down where they respect my skill" (notice how "EV" line changed). but it didn't help much.
