1. One of my big goals for myself this month was to get in the 200k guarantee tournament. I have been playing the Tier 1 sngs regularly and winning consistently. But for some reason, when I get in the 200k satellite, i bomb. I dont mean things just go bad, I BOMB. I go out early, play my hands wrong, and just outright dont play good poker.
2. At the same time, the past month, I have been playing some of the best poker I have EVER played. My game, my personal style mixed with knowledge, is on target. This is the ONLY reason my BR is in good shape right now.
So, I suppose I have been frustrated because altho I am playing well and getting results, Im not getting the results I wanted.
Ya, I know boohooo.......

Yesterday I had my first losing session in over a month.
1. I fooled around at a Razz cash table with J (TheHugeGuy) -$10 buy in
2. I played at the FTF pre AIOF and wasnt paying attn -$10 buy in
3. I paid AIOF bounty -$5
4. I played after AIOF at FTF table lost two buy ins -$20
The fourth item on the list was the most frustrating. Im not sure what happened, well actually I am sure what happened, I played AWFUL. I lost this money getting RE RAISED by effers and calling... that isnt usually a good idea. And in my case with the 2nd best hands it wasn`t.
Today, I sit at a .10/.25 NLHE table. I start getting beauties of hands, AK three times, AQs, AA and KK. I leave the table DOWN $2.85. Every hand but the KK was folded on the flop. I think this is the first time I have folded AA, which means Im getting better( HA )......
