Lousy week

I had a pretty rough week - lost about 10 buyins over the course of the week. I am sure that I miplayed a few hands, but mostly I think it was coolers/bad luck. Yesterday I had 5 big hands where all money got in:

The first 4:
QQ vs. JJ (win) pre flop
AK vs. QQ (loss) pre-flop
QQ vs. JT on a J73 flop (loss)
98 vs. JT on a KQ8 flop - he had a flush draw too, so he was over a 65% favorite (loss)

The worst part of this - the 3 loses were at 2/4 NL (short stacking), while the win was at 1/2 (also short stacking). After this, I played some full stack NL. I was slightly up, when I got all in on a Q82 flop w AA vs. KK, and was rivered. Kind of a bad way to end the day.

Bad swings happen, just as good ones do - so I just need to keep playing well, or stop if I think I am not playing well. I am up a bit today, and am probably done. Hopefully I have a good weekend.

Quest for supernova

I am at about 5300 base FPPs this month, and slightly over 77K for the year. I should hit 100K (and supernova) sometime in late October or early November. That will add a nice boost to the FPPs I earn from stars.

Playing some, but still busy

I have played a bit in the past few weeks, but have been busy, as today marks the end of the first two weeks of the semester. My results have been all over the place. Since the last post, I have had two big downswings and two big upswings. thankfully, one of the upswings was completely ridiculous, so I am up a modest amount over the past few weeks. Really, I am running at about my expectation, but my results are all over the place.

WCOOP?

I doubt I will play any WCOOP events. I simply don't have time to commit more than 4 hours to an event. (And if you do well, it takes far more than that.) With the school year starting, and all the kids activities, it is tough to find big blocks of time to play. I usually play in stretches of less than one hour - and sometimes for as few as 15-20 minutes.
