Can’t believe the day I had. Either I was incredibly carddead, or I took bad beats. I lost about 100 flips in a row in the omaha hyper turbos. I played the razz tcoop and ran like absolute shit but almost min-cashed because the players were so god awful. There were several hands were I had the best hand showing and a player was raising me, with only about a 30% chance to hit and got there. Then of course I get no playable hands and missed 3 or 40-50%’s in a row to bust. I played some other random tourneys like the $16.50 hose and bubbled, the $22 O8 and bubbled because I never got dealt a hand while two ultra-mega-degen fish played 80% of their hands and always won. I did not cash in any tournaments today and also lost about $100 in the omaha hyper turbos so it was pretty sickening.

bankroll was down to 2990 at one point, but I got it back to 3093 by the end of the day.

decided to grind a few hyper turbos so I could get to goldstar by the end of the month. Ended up running really well. overall a great day.

Somehow made $80 today even though I ran like crap. Bubbled or min/cashed in virtually everything. Bubbled the stud hi/lo tcoop because some swedish guy decided to reraise Q55 preflop as if that’s a great stud hi/lo starting hand.

Got a small win today for +$233 in the $11 turbo PLO final table only paid. I went out on a hand where I had 70% equity and only 16% chance to lose for the chip lead. Pretty frustrating beat but I did get lucky cracking AAxx at one point near the money.

Played a few other omaha games and got deep but the cards turned ugly. I think I flopped top set 3 or 4 times today, got the chips in on the turn for a big pot and my opponents rivered their draw each time. Strangely I always had top set with KK and lost.

might play a bit later tonight. Time to hit the gym.

played another session, went deep in a lot of games and cashed in a bunch. I found a few good late night tourneys with a lot of fish.

Lost about $50 today, br down to $2725.

I was doing fairly well at the beginning of the day, but then ran into a huge stretch of coolers.

I played some $7 HU hyper turbos and after the session I had I might just give up on that form of poker. It seemed like virtually every hand I had was second best, and every time I shoved a standard hand my opponents would call me and have me dominated. I got coolered a ton, flopping top pair, top 2 pair, etc and losing to a better hand over and over again. Then to cap it off, when I did get all in pre and have the advantage my opponents kept hitting their 30-45%’s over and over and over again. I’m still up about $57 over 125 games, but after this last session I’m probably just going to play these only once in a while if I feel like it. Grinding them just seems way too mind-numbing. I don’t even really enjoy the players in them either. Most of the guys are super spazz-aggressive which makes the variance that much higher.

not much happened today, got deep in some tourneys and ran bad. Lost two 80%’s in a row in the sunday storm to bust. Lost AA to K6 all in pre in a $1r turbo down to 40 players for a huge pot. Still won a bit in various games to get the roll to 2775

horrid day full of carddeadness and beats. Ran ultra shitty in satellites – in one I lost AA to J7o in a weird situation that cost me $100… went all in preflop for 6bbs and got called after another shortstack was all-in for less than 1 bb on the bubble. Later I lost AK to TT on the bubble of a $215 satellite, so that cost me another $100 in equity.

Also played the tcoop triple stud and a swedish fish on tilt raised my ep open in stud with A38 no suits. I had 47Jddd and the rest of the players cards looked crappy so I went for a steal. He ended up hitting an ace on 5th and had 47J99 with 4 diamonds and we got all in. I was about a 57% favorite to have a 25k stack but whiffed. Really frustrating. The same player also called my ep raise of 743 in razz with 962 and I ended up making 3 pair. Just one of those days I guess….

Finished 3rd in a $16.50 plo mtt out of 191 players for $300 profit. Grinded a bunch of other omaha games and did well.

Unfortunately I can’t say the same for NL games. I ran really badly in satellites and in the $82 tcoop big antes. In that I had triple the starting stack and a russian donk shoved 13bbs utg with A2o. A good player called off his 13bbs in mp with JJ and I called in the big blind with KK. Obviously A2o wins and I was shortstacked. I waited patiently and found TT in mp only to run into QQ in the blinds. Ugh.

ran pretty well in omaha games, winning 2 satellites, 4th in the $8 6max, and a cash in the 2euro game. I played a bunch of other satellites and I won a few, but no big scores. Played a ton of $7 HU hyper turbo SNG’s and I have done very well at those so far. Only played 60 of them, but I’m winning at a good rate so far even though I’ve made a few mistakes.

managed a sunday million satellite win by playing super patient, even folding down to 3.5bbs at one point. Deep runs in all my plo games, even though I had pretty bad luck in some of them. I got 9th in the $11 turbo PLO final table only paid. I had about 2nd place chips with 12 guys left… at this point I’m of course raising a wide range. I manage to lose or tie the following in a row to bust: 40%, 50%, 40%, 72% (tie), 40%, 50%, 70% (tie), 50%. Basically 6 flips and two 70%s in a row to bust 9th. It was pretty ridiculous considering winning any of those hands would have knocked out a player, even the last one would have put the guy at almost zero chips.

Got about 16th out of 1200 in the $1 3xrebuy turbo NL Omaha but I lost a 58%, 65%, and 45% in a row to bust unfortunately. I was also pretty carddead late game not getting any AA, KK or Axxx double suited. I was forced to make marginal shoves with JJxx and AJT9 type hands which I wasn’t really happy about.
