Well, after starting this month down over $3,500, after a pretty nice heater today I am now down only $325 (not counting bonus') for the month.

I never thought I would be so happy to break even for a month.

Body Man D · #**2313** 08-22-2007, 01:17 AM

I think I'm going back to playing cash again. I've had the worse run of my life in donkaments lately. Every time I get deep in a tourney and I get in a huge pot I lose. Doesn't matter if I'm a 80/20 favorite or coin flips or whatever.

I've made 3 or 4 FT's in the last couple weeks just due to volume but then lose a flip and go out 9th or 8th.

Here's tonight's latest example. I make a good read of villian having AK due to his instashove on the flop. Once he flipped it over I knew he would hit.

I don't mind getting stacked in cash games because you can win in back the next hand. But when you play 3 or 4 hours and get deep in a tourney and this crap happens it pisses me off. (end rant)

Oh this was with 182 left and it paid 180 and if I held I would have had top 10 stack.
