Playing well, Running well

Placed 2nd in a STT for $270 and placed in the money in a MTT $75 tourney and took home about $118. I made mistakes in both, but overall did well.

In the STT, I called all my money down with 2nd pair and lost (took 2nd). What a weak play. Nothing is worse than calling all your money away and losing.

In the MTT, I tried to bully a short stack too much after the flop and he called. I should of realized he was pot committed with his bet. I.E. When he bet 1/3 of his stack into 2 other people, he had a had he was willing to go down with.

Bitching about "Luck" - evens out today

Since I have been bitching lately about being unlucky, I thought it would be only fair to keept track. I started the day off in a $150 MTT, paying someone off after they hit their flush. Unlucky +1.

Then I had pocket jacks and reraised an idiot half his stack knowing he would call and did with A30. The flop came 335. I put him all-in (which I was going to do regardless) and he called of course, and I spiked a jack on the turn. Unlucky -1.

Lost about half my stack to QQ on button when I had JJ in SB. We both made trips!

Ace came out when I had QQ. Boo
QQ vs. AQo, I won
AK vs. AA, I played it slow- just calling preflop, the flop came with a King, committing me. Lost 5/6 of my stack.
Short stacked, lost with j6 to A3.


STT, 99 in SB, raised it up against 3 limpers, 1 person called, we both checked J high flop, w/ low turn I bet big and he shoved with his frickin aces and won.

STT, won 1st, won a 50/50, plus other draws. Went on a great card streak.

I played a total of 5 STT for $100+9 today. Lost 1, 3rd once, and 1st place twice.
A new bankroll high today!

Another Bad Beat Day ?!?

I'm going to try something new, and list my bad beats to see if it helps me overcome the anger!

I had pocket 2's UTG, I just limped in. A player who has come over the top before does it again. I come over the top of him again. He just calls. I flop trips and bet 450 into a 750 pot. He calls with NOTHING, just 2 overs and back door flush. Out comes a Q, I check to his AK, and he bets 850, I reraise all-in for another 1300 and he calls. Of course he hits his flush on the river, a 15% outer-another fucking joke.

I kept up my losing streak losing with QQ to K5, then AK to KJ. What a horrible day.

Of course I continue, playing a STT, and placed 3rd (finally in the $ atleast!) because I went all-in with KTo from SB, and was called by BB with 89o. I can't win!

After a short movie break and some booze, I continued. I won 2 50/50s!!! AND outdrew the other guy heads up to win a $100 STT. Craziness I know. My great luck was kind of short lived. I played a $69 MTT, and outdrew someone, then lost a 50/50 and then went out with QQ vs. AQ. Bummer.

Overall, not a terrible day. Luck evened out a bit ;)

Bad Beat Day

Played in quite a few tourneys, always getting beat up before the $. You know it's a bad day when you have pocket 7's and get beat by 67o pre-flop for all your chips 1 spot before the $.

Ending Bankroll: $5,725.00

Placed 3rd in a MTT $69+5 for $2,500

Played real tight, not making any crazy moves or bluffs. Just played the cards. I got "lucky" a couple of times, and look what happens! The key is very tight/aggressive play. I've reached my monthly goal again!
