Sigh...

After yesterdays debacle I was going to type this really long post detailing most of the last couple weeks. Instead I am too stoned and have 4 games going right now so I'm going to run through everything really fast.

As it stands, I have now hit my worst gambling downswing ever. I busted my sportsbook account and in total lost $700. I am taking a break from all that and will come back when I find a game that is a sure thing. Football has been way to unpredictable all season to play the games regularly.

My stars account is taking some wild swings. I hit my high of $2760 on 9/24 and a couple weeks later, I was all the way down to $600. I then went on an upswing that lasted a whole four days. I had a turnaround of $1600 on my sharkscope and took my account all the way up to $1800. Then in only two and a half days of playing, I was right back to $600. Over that time I went about 50 tournaments straight without a single cash. 30 straight SNG's to be exact and approxiamately 20 MTT's.

The very next day I was down to $400.

The next day which was yeterday I bought into a bunch of MTT's and had my account drop to $200 after not cashing in all but the last one.

The last tournament was pretty interesting. It had everything.

The tournament was an $11 buyin with 1086 players.

Early on I picked up a nice stack and then got my greatest fuck you hand ever. All in one hand I took the sickest cooler and simulataneously took the worst bad beat you can take.

Blinds 125/250

UTG raises to 500. Call. I call. Two other callers.

I have 7 7.

Flop A 7 5

Three of us including myself get all in on the flop.

UTG has A A and the other guy has 5 5.

Turn 5

Fuck me. I cannot believe what I just saw.

My stack was all the way down to 1200.

I played shortstack for the next 4 hours.

In that time these two sweet pieces of justices go down.

I get all in short with 6 6. Get called by J J.

Flop 6 x x.

The second hand was the same situation. I get all in short with A J.

Villain shows 10 10.

Flop A J x

As we got down to the last 70 players I was looking at the money breakdown. There was a big prize jump at 27th place. 27-19 was $60 or so. I only had $200-$250 in my account so a $60 cash is substantial. Also prior to my play that day I was considering what to do in the event of going bust. I was debating whether or not I was going to redeposit so I had that mindset when I was playing.

I actually got down to the last 27 and was about 22nd in the tournament so I was stil rocking the short stack. I don't remember many of the hands played at this point but I kept advancing through the tournament as one of the shortest stacks. I badly wanted to make the final table as I hadn't made a FT in almost a month.

Sure enough I actually get there shortstack and all. I came in 6th in chips.

When we got to 8 handed I was 7th in chips and we were on break. Someone suggested that we chop the tounrament 8 ways with each player getting $900. Several players actually agreed. The chipleader wasn't going for it and I sided with chipleader saying that I wasn't going to chop either. The fact that I was refusing to chop is completely assinine on my part since I would be getting 4th place money. I thought I could win and I needed the 2 grand that was on the line.

The first hand back I pick up 4 4 and flop a set in a raised pot with the chipleader. He almost doubles me up and I move into 4th or 5th in chips.

We get down to the last 5 and I am 4th in chips and the player 3rd in chips offers a 5 way chop where we all get $1500. The first two agreed and the chipleader said he was thinking about it but I said no deal and we kept playing. We get down to 4 handed and I double up by actually winning a coinflip. At three handed the sickest hand ever happened.

I have J J in the BB.

Chipleader 2M
Me 700K
Shortstack 600K

Blinds 10K/25K

Chipleader raises my BB from the button like he always does and the SB shoves. I overshove with my Jacks and the CL actually calls!

CL A 10
Me J J
SS 6 6

Lately, I have been in this spot a lot and I have been really good at losing so one time please.

The board blanks off and I win a 2 million chip pot and am heads up. This is also the first time the entire tournament that I hold the chiplead. We play for about 20 minutes or so and I outplay the guy nasty and win when I call his shove with Q 8. He showed 4's and I hit the 8 to win the tournament. 1st was $1,985 and some change and makes for my second biggest tourney score ever. I finally got a good win on stars but am pretty indifferent to it. My bankroll was at $2100 or so and today I have been running like shit. I hope at this point I start making some money because I am in no mood right now to watch my account go all the way back down to almost nothing because everyone hits there 3 outers against me.
