Unlucky? Not Overall...

Played in a $150 MTT and had JJ board came 9 high, bet big (1 other opponent in-loosest at table), turn came 2, bet even bigger & lost to trip 9's.

Played a ST S&G and lost after going all-in preflop with JJ and losing to pocket 9's.

What the F#*^?? Twice in a row, got knocked out with the same hand, to the same hand, and supposedly a monster favorite in each.

I won most of it back receiving 1st in a $50 STT.

I played in a 200 and some person tourney for $69+5, placed 23rd, making a little $. How did I go out? I had 67o in the BB, the button raised to 3x BB. With all the blinds, antes, and his bet, there was over 50% worth of my stack out there. I really thought he would fold to a reraise, so being the short stack, I went all-in. He reluctantly called at the last second and I lost.

Ending Bankroll: $4,378.00
