Sigh...

I am having the worst luck this week. Yesterday I decided to go to Stocktan with some friends because there is supposedly a juicy game there. I was told it was 30 minute ride. Nope, more like an hour and 30 minutes. But we get there and I am pumped. They took us off the waitlist because we took so long, so we put ourselves on again. And we wait. I go grab some food at Hometown Buffet. Come back and wait. Go for a walk. Wait some more. After 4 hours of waiting, they end up sitting us down within 15 minutes of each other. It was a real easy game, but I was just not making it in the bigs pots. I had 3 big outdraws in $1000+ pots. It was very frustrating.

So I end up playing in a rebuy tournament on Doyle's Room. In 3+ hours with 30 people left and a $5,000+ 1st. 27 get paid and I am playing great with an above average stack. I proceed to get crippled when some smuck calls my sizeable all-in reraise with
Q9 against my AJ. Here's the kicker: the flop is KJ10. Sigh...

I am later busted out the next and when the same guy raises and I call all-in with 3 BB with Q9s. Of course, he has A9 and I don't suck out. Hello, my name is bubble boy.

I am having a rough month and the only way I am keeping afloat is good money management. I am in no real danger of going broke, but I am having a rough month. Hopefully I can just break even for the month after paying off my bills.
