Well, the last few days have been a roller coaster. It all started Tuesday (2/17) when my afternoon cash session resulted in a $25 loss, then in the evening I got almost all of it back with a plus $23 session. Wednesday (2/18) rolled around and I had a loss for the day of $24. Thursday was a big come back day with me winning $47 followed by Friday and a winning day of $10. Yesterdays sessions were nasty all around with a $12 loss in the afternoon and a $14 loss in the evening. I feel that I am getting a bit stronger and have made some great lay downs that are saving me money.
Today the main issue was getting either min-bet-shoved on or limp-shoved on pre-flop when I have a big starting hand. Pretty hard to lay down KK in that spot and that is exactly where I was both times. The other losses came from getting in ahead and getting beat my the always awesome 2-3 outer or getting flushed down.
The tourneys have not been much better. I did get another cash, but it is a min-cash and doesn’t get me to where I want. The BAP that I have been running since last June is at an all time low in the $60s. Either I am going to get a big score soon to recover and get this thing ended or it is going to go busto. I would prefer the first one to happen.
Good Luck to all on the tables,

Winning Small, Losing Big!
Well the title says it all, if my hands held I won a small amount, but if they didn’t hold then I was losing big amounts. I had quite a bit of coolers tonight as well, like QQ into QQ and AA, or KK into KK. Every time I got in big with a top hand it usually meant me getting in behind, hard to fold those big starting hands when you are getting action pre-flop.
I did make some errors tonight but they were for minor losses (I know these minor losses add up in the long run, so I am going to try and fix those leaks), but that is a part of learning. You have to learn from these mistakes though because if you don’t then you will just think these mistakes are not mistakes and that you are doing everything right.
Other than those few mistakes, I just feel that I am still running really poorly. I hope this bad run ends sooner rather than later, and that I am not totally broke before it happens.
Until next time,

0-20 in 2009
Well 2009 keeps going by as do the tourneys without a single cash. I have had a few cashes in MTT SNGs, but I don’t count that towards my MTT cashes.
Seems I am able to get something going sometimes and then just go card dead or get out drawn at the wrong time and I am sent to the rail shortly there after. It is getting a bit unnerving and I don’t know what I need to do. I don’t think a drastic change is needed in my game (think that will hurt me more than help me). Hopefully I will just continue to grind these out and get something going into the right direction. Tomorrow is another day and it bring a new tournament with different opponents.
