Sigh...

I took a huge hit on UB yesterday.

And when I say "huge hit," I mean there isn't much left. I had been losing recently, since Sunday, sporting a nasty combination of bad play and a bad run of cards. I played two satellites to Sunday's 200+20 5pm tournament, and got close but never really did much in either. The first one I busted when I pushed in MP with A8 on a short stack. The guy to my left found AK, poof, end of story. The second one I pushed with a moderate stack in LP with JT, and got called in the SB with 77. I flopped an open-ender, but I some how dodged all 14 of my outs twice.

I lost 5 buy-ins playing a really lucrative full table .10/.25 PLO game. The table was soooo soft and soooo bad, but the problem was I couldn't win a pot, whether I was ahead or behind. At one point, I had made two buy-ins back, but then I bluff-potted the river in an already $10 pot after my two opponents checked to me. I had missed my wrap draw, and I thought I could push my opposition off two pair. The first one folded and the second thought forever and then cold called... with 64, the dead nuts on a K-5-8-3-2 board. WTF. I seriously think he didn't notice he had a straight. Then later, a hand summed up my night. I had J-J-x-x and saw a SEVEN way flop of J-4-4. We checked around. Then when a 6 fell on the turn, the SB bet, the BB called, and I doubled the bet. SB called, and BB pushed. I insta-called and so did the SB. SB had 66, and BB flopped quads with 44. Fucking sick. Absolute stone cold cooler.

I lost a full buy-in playing .25/.50 NLHE too. I found a good full table game, played for about an hour, but couldn't get shit going. I missed tons of flops, and every time I hit I had to fold as everyone around me went crazy.

I busted out of two 5.50 tournaments too, once when I got all my money in with AdKd on a 6-3-K rainbow board against 88. Turn fell 8 of spades. The other one I got it in with top two and was counterfeited.

It goes to show how a relatively small roll can't survive a run of bad luck or bad play. I had both the last two days, and as a result, you won't be seeing me on UB much anytime soon. I'll update again when things turn around (they always do).
