Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Another deep run in the Stars $100k and I cant win the big hands late, this is getting ridiculously aggravating . 15 more tournies tonight and lost a decent chunk of change, although I was into the $100r which I never play for $1609. I realized why I never play the $100r's generally. The worst thing is the last 3 weeks I have played the $100k 5 times and have a 32nd, 54th, 63rd and 52nd. Out in all of them on huge hands where if I win I got a legit shot at making some serious money. I guess I could see this as encouraging but I have just been playing too long and understand variance too much to know that you have to make the most of deep runs to stay afloat in MTTs. Its getting really frustrating, thats all I can say. The $1k finish where I chopped the big AK = AJ hand and all these hands are getting to me, not to mention I lost some crucial hands deep in the million and ftops me this weekend. I don't believe, nor should anyone else, that anyone runs statistically better then someone else, its just the spots where you come from behind that matter and I am coming up on the wrong side of the big hands I need to win late in tournies to actually profit. Punting a combined $3500 in SNG sats to the $1k last night and the $100r tonight surely doesn't help either.
That being said, my tournament tracking software is actually in a workable build right now and I am testing it before I release it. Will likely throw in a quick preview in my next live video.
In short,
Bright Side: I am getting deep a lot lately
Dark Side: I am losing the crucial hands in the end game
2nd Bright Side: Barack Obama, of whom I am an aggressive supporter, came up with another landslide victory in Wisconsin tonight. He is slowly looking like a lock to beat Hillary which is a good sign.
