That I run good on PokerStars.  I lost $9,908 today.  I didn’t cash in 2 PCA tourneys I played.  I didn’t cash in the Sunday Million.  By the way, I am done going for the PCA this year, I am just going to give up on the idea that I could go two years in a row.  Mostly because of how expensive those satellites get, but also because of some stuff on the home front.

PLUS, I got my butt whipped in 5 card draw today.  Just to give you an idea of how bad it was, I lost over 3k to one player alone who “said he had never played before”.  The funny thing is, I believe him!  Because he was making so many mistakes, but the cards bailed him out left and right.  I seriously almost broke my mouse tonight 20 times.  I really have no idea how I can run this bad.  Not only today, but I am surprised I haven’t imploded like I did today, before today. I don’t care if you think I am not that good at the game, but you can’t seriously tell me that anyone with experience in the game should lose that much in one day.  I do have to admit that about the last 1k was blown off from tilt though, but well before that, I was destined to go broke it seemed.

I am sitting here studying up on how to play optimally and un-exploitively and the crap that keeps on happening to me is just unexplainable.  I start with a better hand.  I get outdrawn (which first of all shouldn’t happen that often in 5cd, especially in the situations I am getting outdrawn in.  We are talking about 80% favorites losing over and over again).  Next, I start behind, but I improve to the point where you have to either call or reraise if you improve enough.  Next thing I know, I get popped again, because my opponent shows down a full house.  LOL!  I can’t beat luck.  I can’t beat 10k worth of luck.

My chances of reaching 60k at this point are now at exactly zero.

The crazy thing is is that I was starting to make a push.  I was up almost 10k in this month from 5 card draw, but it didn’t seem that way because of the expensive PCA satellites that I couldn’t even get near the money in.  I am just so overwhelmed with this stench of bad luck that has been lingering around ever since the end of July.

Amount to 60k: $25,670.93
