Day 229 ... Not the great comeback I was hoping for ...

After yesterday's technical difficulties at UltimateBet and loosing my $5.50 entry (along with everyone else) I'm right down on bankroll.

UltimateBet ... $39.18

$10 cash NL 0.1 ... $12.27 ... + $2.27
$10 cash NL 0.1 ... $19.20 ... + $ 9.20

$5+0.50 SnG Full ... 4th ... -$5.50

$10 cash NL 0.1 ... $00.00 ... - $ 10.00
$9.30 cash NL 0.1 ... $00.00 ... - $ 9.30

$5+0.50 SnG Short ... 5th ... -$5.50
$5+0.50 SnG Full ... 7th ... -$5.50
$5+0.50 SnG Full ... 3rd ... -$5.50

$10 cash NL 0.1 ... $13.30 ... + $ 3.30
$10 cash NL 0.1 ... $00.00 ... - $ 10.00

UltimateBet $ 39.18 ... - $ 24.39 ... total $ 14.79 (- $ 23.21)

I really didn't do well on the luck front - getting all sorts of decent hands beaten by underdogs. OK I didn't play great but the crucial hands that I lost were with decent cards played hard and losing to weaker semi bluff hands. I've totally decimated my meager bankroll and I can see little hope of getting it back up tomorrow. I think I've got enough for 2 SNG's and then I'm going to have to play micro micro limit cash game with whats left ... I'm not terribly optomisitic as I should have managed to win some of the SnG's today and made progress ... It's a bad run but I've got to try and survive until I start to hit some form again ... working off the bonus from this low position will require a minor miracle.

HoldemPoker ... $180.43

$10+1 SnG full ... 4th ... -$11.00
$10+1 SnG full ... 9th ... -$11.00
$10+1 SnG full ... 4th ... -$11.00
$10+1 SnG full ... 3rd ... +$ 9.00

HoldemPoker $ 180.43 ... - $ 24.00 ... total $ 156.43 (+ $ 112.43 )

Decided to have a bit of holdem in bed for a few hours - figured a change of scenery might do the trick and it's bee n ages since I've played at HoldemPoker. Little did I know I was going to get the same run of luck - I know exactly the hands I played and shouldn't have and I know I threw one game getting tilited badly on one hand and going into the next one but I really should have got in the money 3 times out of 4 and should have taken 1st in at least one - I don't think I played badly in the evening - ok the cash games in the day were a shambles but that's no suprise. After getting KK, QQ etc beat by junk the final straw was going all-in (4 players left) with a reasonable stack on the button with AK to steal the blinds - he called and turned over AJ which was ok - then he proceeded to hit his only out a Jack ... twice.
