Variance is a bitch.

After a pretty successful week last week this weekend was just dismal. Saying i'm running bad would be an understatement. I'm not even getting cold decks, just being outdrawn in the sickest manor time after time. I'm not too bothered about this as long as my game doesn't fall apart. This kind off stuff happens all the time, and after running at a 41% ROI last week playing STT's it was only a matter of time.

I'm not going to go into all the hands, because i'd just bore myself writing them. The only one that sticks in the mind was in the Sunday Warm up. I had AQ in mid position and 3x bet. I've been slowly acquiring chips and up to about 18k. The BB who's played nearly every hand 3 bets me and i flat call. Flop comes A42. I bet he calls. Turn bring a Q and i bet again, he shoves and i snap call with top two. He flips 99??!! River... 9. oh hum. I got knocked out of everything else fairly early on and started playing the F40 promotion STT's on stars. I played about 9 i think, 3 at each level and won 2 and cashed in another 3. This meant after bombing out every MTT losing $ in every set of STT's i played i actually broke even on the day. Over all for the weekend I'm still $300 down tho'.

With only one taker for the prop bet i'm pretty sure it's not worth doing. I was hoping to get at least $1k which would motivate me a little more.

I felt pretty rubbish last night and was only kept awake whist at the club by Mr Anthony Tsang who sat next to me whilst playing his Sunday MTTfest. I picked up a lot of good stuff watching him and although we didn't chat too much he pointed out a couple of leaks in my online MTT game straight away. After getting home i had a pretty rubish night with my Crohns yet again and as a result haven't slept much. I played a few sets of STT's a while ago and my dismal luck continues so i'm stopping playing online now for the day. $425 down just on the day.

If i get some sleep i'll go and play the £75 at the International tonight... fortunately my awful luck doesn't seem to have forced it's way into my live game. Thank god.
