Had my heart set on playing some tourneys and SNGs tonight. Let's go to the recap:
* $2.20 NLHE Donkfest on Stars. 99<57o on a 3 4 6 flop. I preflop raise it from UTG+2 and get called by said hand. Later on, with a short stack, I get it in w/ AKo vs JJ and TT, never improving
* $11 SNG on Tilt. Lose 2/5ths of my stack when 88<KQ on a rivered straight. Then I lose the rest with AA UTG, standard raise, and a call. I shove on a 5KQ rainbow flop and stack off to KQh. I was dealt AA 3x in 28 hands here. Doubled up on the first, won a small pot with the second, got stacked on the third. WP, djm182. WP you piece of shit.
* $8.80 169 player tourney on Tilt. Get the Cosenza in the cutoff on first hand. UTG and hijack limp in and call my raise. Flop 4QA w/ 2 diamonds. Checks around, I bet 1/2 pot and hijack calls. Turn Td. He check calls me again. River is 4th diamond, he shoves and I fold, 1/4 of my stack gone.
I fold a dozen hands in a row, then find AKo on the button. Short stack shoves (305 chips), idiot hijack from earlier hand flat calls that. I shove. Hijack comes along (of course he does). Shorty has 57c, Idiot has 99 (ok, fine). What happens? Wait for it. I. Never. Improve.
* OK, one last $11 SNG on Tilt. I chip up a bit early. About 13 hands in I have AJd in MP and raise. Folds around to the UTG limper who calls. Flop TAK rainbow. I bet and get min-raised. I tilt off and shove. He calls w/ ATo.
My mistakes? There are (at least) three.
1) I'm too eager to get chips in against a bigger stack early on in events.
2) I'm not sniffing out player characteristics like I should.
3) I keep playing despite being on a three-month run of bad luck and suspect play.
For about two months this fall, I *pwned* the $10-$20 SNGs. Now I'm getting destroyed. It's not all my fault, but I bear a good chunk of the blame. This endless cooler sure isn't helping, though.
Enough of this bullshit, I'm off to the Wii.
