Default /sigh One of those days I guess (Whine incoming)

Bankroll is small, so I mostly play the lower buyin tourneys. I've had a great run lately, placing in the money in a lot of tourneys, and going 3 - 0 on heads up play in MTT.

And then.. here comes the last few days. I know that I've been playing good. But, today it's just been hard.

BTW.. I'm posting mainly cause I just need to get this out of my system cause I'm feeling really bad right now and my girlfriend is tired of listening to me whine about these types of things. I don't have the history for it, but I lost a heads up match today in a STT when my AQ < A10 AIPF when he had me covered by about 200 chips. This was after a 45 min match between us where we split the pot 4 times after I had a higher kicker with the same pair after the flop.

Only the KQ hand did I not have it dominated preflop, but even so, I had drawing to very few outs. I guess this goes back to my other post that should have been titled "the fish are out".

Don't you just hate those days that you know your game feels really great, but the luck just isn't there.

The villan here had taken down half of the first 15 hands with crap cards, including one where there were 4 limpers before me, I raised 6x bb with 1010 and they called with Q5 from the sb and of course, hit a queen on the flop. Lost half my stack on that one, which lead to this one. Wasn't so much a bad call considering their stack, more just my luck

yeah, I said that I was behind preflop on that. But, I did say that he called that big of a bet with A2 and that he had 3 outs heading into the river and hit of course

Pretty much the main reason why I don't think that I have the stomach for cash games really. Swings like these just take a bit out of me, cause I'm not comfortable with losing it on bad beats.
