What A Great End To The Effin Week

After the debacle from Friday night / Saturday morning I took almost all of Saturday off, mostly by sleeping till 5pm and following my St. Cloud State Huskies online clinching home ice advantage for the first round of the playoffs. I played two tournaments, a $8 turbo tier one in which I won a total of three hands, enough to get me a token. I then played a $13 heads-up for a token and won that one. Hey, maybe I am on the right track. Wrong!!!!

Fast forward to today and I play a $5 HORSE tournament. I was knocked out about 1 1/2 hours into it finishing middle of the pack in the 100 person tournament. I then played a $3 turbo and busted out at around the 1/2 hour mark when my A,K < A,Q on an x,x,Q,A board. Time for the slut tour.

On the first hand I limped with aces and Zooks potted it:

I got my money in good, which is all I can ask for. I typed in chat nice 7 outer. Illini said what about the J's. Read it right before you berate me. That set me off big time.

Winding down I played $0.10/$0.25 NL and lost $15 when my boat ran into quads. I played two more $5 heads-up SNG's. I ran into a player that flat called every single bet. I could not find a counter strategy to that. He called when he had it and when he didn't. When he didn't he hit the river for a better hand. I had him at a 2:1 defecit when A,Q < J,6 and lost. Coulldn't recover after that. I played a rematch and built a 2700/300 lead and I STILL lost. Time to call it a night.

Here is to wishing a better week for myself.
