still running cold....

i had some success on Bodog this weekend, winning some satellites and cashing in their daily 50k at 8:30pm EST. i also cashed in FTP's 18k on Friday night, finishing 35th. but other than that, i cannot seem to get much going on Full Tilt or Stars. i went cold playing the $15+1 single table turbos on Stars cashing only twice in my last 18 sng's. even the $22 turbo's on FTP went cold.

pathetic

the common theme in most of my tourneys or sng's is i cannot seem to win many races. i also, seem to pick up a good starting hand late in a tourney in LP (e.g AK or JJ) and end up running into a monster in the blinds (AA/KK). i died in last night's 18k running AK into the BB's KK after getting thru 2/3rd's of the field. i died in Bodog's 100k on Sunday running AJ from the button after it was folded to me into the BB's AK.

if any of you saw what happened to me in Don's Big Game, that's a good example of what i'm experiencing lately.

i chopped two pots as a 3-1 favorite, KsJs vs QJo and AKo vs AsTs. then, my final hand i lost a coin flip with JJ vs AhKh. i did gamble once after i whiffed the flop and win a race against Don with AQo vs JJ (he was mighty pissed). but, that was the only race i won. so, my race record last night was 1-1-2.

instead of having a HUGE stack after having to chop two pots as a 3-1 favorite, i end up having to push / pray with JJ vs AK and get knocked out on my ass.

'cuz we all know JJ sux ballz. just ask Don.

since i'm running so cold, i've been more selective of racing for chips. i passed on a race for half my stack before the 1st break of Don's Big Game when Fuel open / pushed from the cutoff. he had been pushing quite a bit. but, i went ahead and dumped my pocket 8's. I had over 4k in chips and it was too early for me to race that many chips. he showed Qh3h.

but, i still like my fold. he probably woulda flopped a flush on me.

on a more positive note, somehow i'm still in the top 10 of the BBT Leaderboard. i need to take down a couple of tourneys to even have a shot at the top spot.

don't forget to stop by and congratulate Hoyazo on his deep run in last nights FTOPS Main Event. He managed to hammer his way into the top 100 and finish the night with a nice cash for his efforts. wtg Hoy! you're on a heater.

GL at the tables
