Sunday ended up being a nightmare as i dropped 6 of 8 sng 9man poker tournaments. I had a few distractions but overall i did not play as well as i should have.Competition tends to be a little harder on the weekends; And i really need to play smaller pots early on if i plan to make this shit happend.
I ended up on the bubble in quite a few games yesterday; And i am trying to figure out the problem there. I cashed out $90 last night to cover my truck note for the week so right now the roll sits a $106.00 along with the $80 i lost yesterday.
Because i am a tournament player by nature,i tend to make moves that are not good for sng poker.Take this hand i just played for instance;With QQ i would usally raise or flat here. This being because in tournament poker i am deep enough to flat call the 3-bet from the guy behind me.
But in this case i opted to fold instead of calling or re-raises ect. This tends to be a bad move overall this early in a tournament or a sng for that matter.

And lastly i bust out of this tournament with AK suited v.s AA again on the very next hand!!!!!
So what are the chances of AK running into AA two hands in a row???? From what i have read it's very very rare that this happends again anytime soon! Poker is very demanding on the brain if you don't understand the game itself. And i truly hope during this time; That i have the skills to survive this without a bankroll or the proper funds to live through this.
RAN LIKE SHIT SUNDAY!!!!!!
UP TO $300 IN 3 DAYS AFTER WORK LAYOFF
Well it's Sunday morning and i am up grinding the $13 Knock out sng 9mans on Pokerstars. I played pretty lax in my 1st buy-in and made an early exit with AJ TPTK v.s a limped players 333. I took a chance and got burnt as always. Remember never to go broke in a unraised pot!!
The goal for today and hopefully i can get it done early; Is to start at the $13 level and then the $27 Knockouts. I figured that i will just play around with these two levels for now until the rust falls off. I am really hard pressed to work on a few player control issues that i have; But im not really to worried about it.
For the first time in a real long time,im starting to realize that i really am a pretty good player. Now i feel like when i enter a tournament or sng i have the skills to win or run very deep. I have really missed playing like i used too; And being out of work for a week now has really forced me to play well.
