I have been a bit AWOL lately due to, among other things, running my NCAA pool. I just dropped by for a quickie..

Last night, I won in multiple sessions online (once thanks to a royal flush) and found myself "in the black" on the year. That is, my balance on 1/1 was $228 and I had $229. I came here to write a post about my fortune and then lost $25. I never finished the post. Then I lost again. Then I lost more.

The funny thing is that three times this year that has happened to me where I am in the black, start a blog post about it and then lose it before I finish the post.

I figured my luck would turn around by tonight, so I sat down in a heads up SNG. First hand I get JackKingOff (hee hee). My opponent goes all-in. I call his BS and then call his bet. He had J9. Flop is nothing, turn is a Jack and river is a 9.

Kill me.

I'll whine with you a little bit.

I'm in a double shootout for the WSOP and I push with A-Q into a weak UTG limper. He calls with 4-4. My question is, what is 4-4 so far ahead of that you want to call for all but 275 of your chips. (The call was 150 and my push was about 1200, or 3.2 x current pot) Easy laydown...he flops a 4.

Eerily timed elimination as I find another WSOP shootout starting in 2 minutes. (OK, I think they start every 20 if you mix in turbos and non-turbos) It's the same stuff, all-ins with junk pairs, calls with Q-J, etc. I actually fold A-Q when the guy to my left pushes and is called by one other player before it gets to me. I have to fold, to find 99 vs JJ, Flop is A-x-x, but that's normal. After the 3rd small-pair all-in wins, I decide I'm playing my small pair when it comes.

4-4..PUSH...CALL........Aces.

Thank you Poker Gods, I get the point.
