So far this year I am up a whopping $108. After playing hung over and winning a $3 rebuy 180 man, I have pretty much bricked every other 180 man. The best I’ve done is a 4th in a $12 game. I keep losing very standard flip situations, running into aces and not sucking out, or just taking very standard beats. Often my games will start by me easily doubling up, then losing a race or taking a beat, or never getting dealt a playable hand.

So for $12/180s I’m on a big downswing, around 60 buy ins without a win, which is extremely frustrating. I’ve had few final tables because of losing huge flips late in the tourney, and when I’ve gotten to the final table often I’m not winning flips there or taking a beat. I feel like I’m going to win 3 or 4 of these in a short period of time once variance catches up.

Luckily I have been running really well in the $22.44 hyper turbo games. These used to be my bane as I could never run good, but lately I have been 4 tabling them with ease and winning at very high, most likely unsustainable rate.

I’m going to take a bit of a break from playing so much and work more on websites. I will still be playing every weekday, but I am going to try to do a few things differently. For one – I really want to get up and start playing around 6:30am. This will give me a chance to play some different opponents and stay away from some of the good grinders. I will also be able to play a cool tourney I noticed – $33 turbo 500 cap – 3000 chips to start. I took a look at the prize pool and there were about 475 players today and 1st was around $3000, which would be a terrific score.
