You Make Me Feel So Bad

 Jammed through some more tonpuusen rounds tonight.  I started off feeling pretty good but I took a major dive halfway through, which sucks.  As usual I pretty much only have myself to blame, though.  This should about sum it up:

 

He chose...poorly.

Here are the logs.  I pushed through the bad stuff in order to hit 6kyu, but ideally that bad stuff shouldn't have happened to begin with.  A lot of boneheaded mistakes in here, even in the games where I placed first or second.  Starting to feel a lot less confident about this plan; I guess I'm the kind of guy who never really learns his lessons.  I think the tonpuusen rounds are good for me, though.  It's better that I get punished for my mistakes harshly early on so when I move onto hanchans I'll stop dealing into dealer mangans all the damn time.

And, here are the stats as of tonight.

As you can see my deal-in rate is almost double what it was last time.  My win/loss numbers have evened out a lot as well.  I'd be fine with an even spread between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd if my 4th place rate wasn't as high as it was...it's still early in my career, though.  Hopefully I can shape up soon.

Oh, also, some guy on /jp/ made a championship lobby out of nowhere.  It's tonnansen ari red, and running at midnight 10/28 Japan time (or 3pm PST 10/27, I think?) for some reason.  Given the weird choice of day I'm not sure there's going to be any kind of turnout, but I have the 27th off so I'll be playing in it anyways.  My records were way better in 7447 than they ever were in 0000 so maybe it'll be a good morale booster.  Alternatively I could just get destroyed and lose all faith in myself...I guess we'll see (ﾟぺ)

edit: Whoops, guess he changed the date to Sunday evening instead.  I do work that day so no tournament for me.  Oh well!
