so so weekend

Well I guess my good run is over. The past 3 days have really been a struggle. Variance has been biting me in the ass a lot lately. I thought I had one bad beat, but once I reviewed the hand I realized it wasn’t. 7 people left in a $5.20 DON and 3 short stacks (I have 1000 in BB, early pos has 600 and mid pos has 900 and blinds are at 200-400!) early pushes and mid pos calls and I choose to go all-in instead of calling with A-K. The early position had garbage and middle position had 3-3. A-K-5 comes the flop and I am thinking I am now good with my top 2 pair, but of course the 3 comes on the river. I was left with 100 chips and was all in next hand in small blind and was out in 6th! I was steamed since he hit a 2 outer on the river, but then I realized he was favorite pre-flop anyway!! That calmed me down some..but it did still suck..LOL.. Then it made me wonder if I only called pre-flop if he would have folded his 3’s and saved his last couple hundred???? The rest of my losses have been in coin flips or the occasional high pair vs higher pair. I have been playing pretty well and have run deep in most of my SNG’s. I am still bouncing back and forth between $5.20 DONs and multi-table $1.10 DONs while mixing in a few multi-table SNG’s and some heads-up SNG’s. I don’t like playing the same type of tourney over and over again since it gets stale and I think it hurts my play overall since each kind has a different strategy and plays different. The good news is the bankroll is still climbing..just very little the past few days. I played quite a few hours the past 3 days and only saw a minimal increase in my bankroll. Considering I don’t think I was running very well during that span I do think it’s great that it still went up though. One other thing is that I totaled up all my buy-ins on MTT & SNG and in the past couple months I have bought into almost $800 worth of tourneys. Wow..not a bad bang for your buck for some fun entertainment. Beats spending $20 to see a 2 hour movie! At a 10% ROI if I want to get to a $1000 BR I would have to buy into $10,000 worth of tourneys! Wow.. that’s sick..LOL.
