I have been running bad the last week. Not just bad. But *really* bad. I bombed out of two SnGs on Thursday so I dropped to the 6x12s which have treated me pretty well. Not so fast, my friend.
These are the last three bust outs. A combination of bad timing and bad luck:
Bubble time. AKo against Ah7h. Flop is two hearts, Ace on the turn. Money goes in. Heart on the river. Busted.
5 left. Short stack. All of my money in against two people with AQo. Both of them have A-10. Looking good to tripple up here. 10 on the river to bust me.
Bubble time. 9-10 on the SB, limped. Flop is 9-Q-10. Money goes in. Two pair pretty solid against Q-8. J on the river.
I’ll have to look at PokerTracker, but I think this is 12 SnGs with no cashes. I have lost well over 20% of my bankroll on Stars during that time. Everytime I think I am having a good event (getting people to push their flush into my full house for example), I end up getting blanked late.
It may be time to step back for awhile, do some reading, maybe some meditation, kick the neighbors dog, anything but play cards…
I know the feeling. I am not running too well myself in tournaments and Vegas is right around the corner….it can’t get any worse…can it ?
the root of comisserate must be the idea of co-misery. sorry to hear the last little while isn’t treating you well. i know your pain, for whatever that’s worth.
there’s likely a light at the end of the tunnel – let’s all hope its not a train…
