Wow, my tournament luck has been terrible since my WWDN tourney win. I’ve played in six of the $20+2 180 person SNGs at Stars. I have yet to make the money. I can’t win a coinflip. Two of my bustouts were desperate shortstack pushes. The other 4:

• KK vs AA (all in preflop)
• KK vs AKs (flush, all in preflop)
• AA vs A5s (quads! the last of my money went in on the 557 flop, but still…)
• KK vs AA (all in preflop)

And in Saturday with Dr. Pauly today, I had to make a tough laydown of 76 on a 779Q board (the winner showed A7), and then bust out with a set of 3s vs a set of aces later anyway. Damn set over set. Thanks for hosting, Pauly!

For the most part, I’ve been paying for these tourney fees with the Stars ring game, though. the $100NL there is nice. Plus, I just cleared a bonus that had been sitting in my account for 6 months or so because I hadn’t been playing there. I keep playing the 20 table SNGs because the play is just so bad, but I think I might have to give up on them for a while. It’s just too frutstrating.

I will play in the Six Gun Shootout qualifier tomorrow at FullTilt, though.

Wow that is some bad luck. It happens sometimes with me when I win something big (tournament, big pots in a ring game) then after that I can’t win a hand to save my life. Seems I get too confident and the poker god’s don’t like it.
