So the last 2 weeks I've been running bad in just about any form you could think of...SnGs, cash games, MTTs (although not as bad in MTTs), which for a part-time hack like myself is qute frustrating. Smartest thing I did was take the weekend off from playing, spend a couple of hours looking at some hand histories (both good and bad), and start off with a more positive attitude.
Variance is a great thing when it is to your benefit, but when you are on the downswing it's a bitch. Every one of us goes through those runs of "Flop set, get all the chips in the middle, runner-runner straight or flush, good game!" periods, so you just have to deal with them.
Playing in Heads-Up tourney tonight for Nik's Poker Palace - a great group of guys who play a weekly game on Tuesday nights on PokerStars. Check them out sometime.
Took 3rd in Dino's tourney last, after bubbling final table and finishing 8th the last couple of weeks. Tourney took too long, and had too much stuff happening to fully recap. Went into the final table 3rd or 4th in chips, and managed to maintain position throughout. Couldn't get Slow Joe to play his big stack on many of my numerous blind shoves when 4 and 3-handed...until he busted my A-2 when his 9-10 turned and rivered 10s for a boat. Slow Joe wins...and I officially think Dino's is in bizarro world today.
A few days early, but Merry Christmas to everyone reading this!
