One of those days

I played quite a bit yesterday. Now I remember why I'm not a big fan of the ring game. More on that later. I play a set of SNGs and only got 1 2nd out 3 tournies... so that put me down. There were only 16 people in the $1K guarantee last night so I played that. It was a night of second best hands. Since the overlay was so good, I did rebuy and addon... so I put I probably put $100 into it. No good... out in 8th. So then I sat down at the 5/10 table then (btw.. I am playing 2 5/10 tables at Party also). It was the normal loose play that I'm accustomed to at Poker World; but unfortanely my good hands weren't holding up. I went through one $150 buyin and rebought in... It was down to $75 and then I went on a run. The short of it is that I made up both buyins and the buyin of the tourney and made a whopping $6 on Poker World. BTW, I had mentioned something about their topless, permanent 20% bonus. This may the hardest bonus to clear that I have ever seen so I would not reccomend it.

So onto Party. Unfortunately, that didn't go so well. The only good news is that this was the first time that I got to play using PokerAce's software, Poker Ace HUD . This program is awesome. I even used the layout that had on their website along with the table mods. Awesome!!! As mentioned at other places, probably the best feature to this program is that it automatically shows the hole cards of mucked hands at showdown. It is simply amazing the hands people are calling on the river. Again, it was just one of those days. Everytime, I would fight back, I would get knocked right back down. Take a look at the hand below and you will see the typical things I was running into. This is also the hand that sent me home.

Nice running 3's. Oh well. So after about 5 hours (which is unusual for me to play that long. Mrs Wonka was out for the evening)... I was down 50BB. Why do people tell you that way? I was down $507. I guess to hide the limits that they are playing and I guess I can't blame them. It's really none of our business.

I was due for a pullback. After 7 straight positive days, I was due. But as usual, it was a big down down which cancels 3 or 4 good days. I did clear a casino bonus a $76 profit.
