Kicked In The Teeth
I didn't play any Limit Hold'em on Party Poker this weekend since they did the huge upgrade last Thursday. I've decided to wait until the upcoming weekend to play there again so some of the minor bugs that I've read about can be fixed. I think I will like most of the improvements they have made.
I played in eleven SNG tournaments on Royal Vegas this weekend and only made the money in two of them. In the first two tournaments I played terribly and deserved the lousy tenth and fifth place finishes I had. As for the other nine tournaments, I don't think I took any unnecessary risks. I just couldn't seem to win any hands in the early stages and when I was short stacked during the late stages I was not able to get lucky and stick around longer.
Finally, after missing the money in eight straight tournaments, I managed to pull of a second place finish after I pushed with T5o against K9o. I played two more after that and busted out fifth with ATo vs. QQ and then finished 3rd in the last one when I pushed with aces. We had just made it down to three-handed when I was dealt the aces. I immediatlely pushed all-in and was called by KJo, who had me covered. My opponent caught a king on the flop and another king on the turn to eliminate me.
I will play a couple more SNGs tonight and see if my luck has turned around. It sure would be nice to start making the money on a consistent basis or I will never be able to get ahead.
Current Bankroll: $315.39
