Well, I took a shot at some $87.72 hyper turbos and ran $1100 under expected value. So I lost a lot of my winnings due to bad luck. I’m not sure that hold em manager computes EV correctly, however I haven’t been able to get this program called SNG Luck Analyzer to work yet because the hand history conversion doesn’t work.

It was also turbo night on pokerstars and I went deep in just about every tournament but couldn’t seem to get any hands to hold up late in tournaments. I made some poor plays as well which contributed to the awful day. I’m going to have to rebuild by playing $12 45 and 180mans over the next few weeks. Then I’m going to play more $10 freeze out tourneys since I have historically done very well in them.

My confidence certainly took a hit and I felt a little depressed yesterday. However, today I have gotten a few things done and I’m going to take a short break from poker and refocus on my website and other things I’ve been meaning to get accomplished. Poker can wait until I have the time and can get in the zone. I definitely wasn’t playing my A game yesterday which coupled with bad luck is never a good situation. I probably tilt called or spite called (for no reason) in a few spots that cost me money yesterday. I realize this now but at the time I just thought I was unlucky. I’m going to have to go back and reread “the poker mindset”.
