SNG - Day 19

As you can probably guess, the uphill battle continued yesterday. I did something yesterday that I hadn't done in a long time. As I have mentioned before, I have gotten to a point that I can handle bad beats and/or tilt pretty good. Well, until yesterday. Yesterday, something actually had to go airborn. In this case, it was just a pen. I was already past the point of screaming and pounding on the desk. I have to admit, that they weren't all bad beats... just bad timing. We'll call a Series of Unfortunate Events (more on the this non poker subject coming soon). When does patience and determinedness get passed up by stubborness. Is that the point that I am at now? I certainly don't think that the $50 SNG level is beyond my abilities. So what to do? Well, one thing for sure, I am going to continue on this path through the end of the month. Maybe the law of averages will work for me. My bankroll of over 12K is certainly in no danger of being busted. More on bankroll coming later. Well, here are the eagerly anticipated numbers:

14. 1st - AK beat Q6
15. 8th - QQ lost to A2 on river... trip 2's
16. 8th - AQ lost to AK.. bad raise from after flop that had an ace on it. I actually went all in to get the other out. Well.. I got the original better out instead and buttoned called with the AK

22. 2nd - A6 lost to AK
23. 9th - AQ lost to AK... again
24. 5th - QQ lost to A3... this was the final straw when something went airborn. Normal 3x raise preflop. flop KKK... I bet 75% of the pot and got called. Turn is rag. I go all in and he calls. River... any guesses... nope not an ace... the 4th K so I got outkicked. I feel like throwing something now after repeating it.
25. 1st - QQ beat A7
26. 6th - 85 lost to QT.. flopped middle pair with gut shot.. Level 6 so I tried to make a move. The flop also had T so IGHN.

There you have it and there you are.
