Long session = no val

hey now
haven't posted for a while so thought would give update on my current poker life.
achieved task of doubling bankroll last friday at npc (me and adam had grind on the mind) and was now concentrating on playing 6max $20sng.
Decided to play earlier in week, which was not a good idea. i had had some work on at uni, and lack of sleep and just decided to play for the sake of it. this resulted in less than optimal play and me managing to lose about -$100 from my BR. I still do this from time to time, which annoys me as i wish i had some more discipline and knew when i am going to play my best and not.
Punished myself by going back down to $10 6msx sngs where i thought i would grind back the $100 i lost. Was actually 4 tabling for a while, which had some mixed success. i suppose i would have to save some hand historys to review how well i was playing in key spots. though managed to get back the $100 i had lost.
played 2 more $10 sngs and cashed in one and decided was time to get back to the $20s.
I don't know if its cause i lost $100 other day but felt i have been running pretty bad lately, mainly online and a litttle bit live.
Out of the 4 $22 sngs i played i cashed in one for 2nd, where i got 90% of chips in with top pair on turn agasint a bare flush draw that he hit no problem.
then was 3handed, and second in chips. chip leader was bb i was button with jjs blinds were 80/160. make it 400 from the button that i had been doing consitently short handed. chip leader shipped i called (as he had been shoving all in from the first level instead of raising) he had kq - flop q 10 10, turn k (got a lil bit exicted at his point) river k - cheers then.
Playing the third one was chip leader, then lost two 60, 40s agasint short stacks to put me short.
then lost a final one to knock me out on bubble. then full tilt decided to save best one till last which was as follows;

Again value of blog helping to see if i'm playing alright and steaming me off.
Going to call it a night now. playing tommorow at uni for poker soc where looking forward to good tourney adam has set up. £25 f/o- 10k starting stack blinds start at like 20 40 or something with 40min levels. And hoping to play the £10 rebuy at NPC in sat where there is minimum £1k for first prize. Heres hoping i run good over weekend.
