A Very Frustrating Day

To say today was frustrating would be an understatement. I honestly feel I should have made about +$100 today. Instead it was a whole lot worse than that.

It all started when I was playing the 180-person $4.40 on Stars. I'm on the bubble with a shortstack (but not horrible) and go AIPF against 1 raiser on the BB with AKs. He calls with KQs. Yes, he hits his Q, and I'm out. if I had won I would have catapulted to 5th in chips.

Then I played in 2 other tournaments ... and this exact scenario happens twice ... but I'll only make you watch it once:

Just brutal. Unreal. KingCurtis was playing with me and seeing similar results. Some weird mood thing, or maybe I was on to something in my last post.

So after hours of that (I should note that I did rebound and win a STT $5 SNG for $22.50 and then won 2 $2 HU matches for +$4), I decided it was time for some cash games.

Well ... it started brutally when THIS happened:

Just horrible. But in the end my system WORKS and I stuck by it. Set mining paid off big time with this hand where I took down an entire stack to make a positive of the night:

In the end for Today (Sunday):

STT / MTT = +$4.10

Cash Game = +$30.50
