The Curse is Broken

I hadn't cashed in an MTT in quite awhile. It had been a combination of poor play, bad luck and entering some stupid NL hold 'em tourneys with 5,000 people. I wasn't too concerned until I looked at my PokerDB stats and realized it had been 28 tournaments! Considering PokerStars pays 15-20% of entrants, it's pretty hard to go 0 for 28. During this stretch I remember bubbling twice - including finishing 55th when 54 got paid and 8th when 6 got paid.

I thought I might need to sacrifice two chickens and a goat, or even more dramatically, switch to full tilt - but luckily the curse was broken last night. I finished 17th in a $4 limit hold 'em tourney. 586 entered so I banked about $12 profit. I think I'm about to get on a roll.

So Pissed

Nothing tilts me more than a bad internet connection right in the middle of a tournament. Tell me how I can have internet then it goes right in the middle of a hand and comcast can't fix it. $13 down the drain and all I can do is chew out the comcast dipshit

Stopped the Bleeding a Little

Update from my last post. I've won a couple sit-n-gos and done alright in cash games (triple draw) over the last 24 hours to stablize my free fall. Slight difference in how I've been playing NL hold 'em, I've been much more patient instead of trying to run over the table. I've also went back to playing 9-handed instead of 6-handed to force myself to be patient. I'm just trying to let the donks make mistakes and give their chips to me. It has worked for 24 hours.

Big Downswing

Over the past several days it seems I can't win anything. Not a sit-n-go, and I haven't come close to cashing in a tourney. I'm back playing NL Hold 'em after the mixed games expierment. I know this game goes in streaks, but at this point I'm pretty frustrated. I've lost almost 10% of my bankroll.
