$11 MTT, some sit n gos & some lovely 2/4

Interesting hand to go out on in the MTT. 1305 entrants and I went out in 268th or something like that. I had to sit out and lost 1000 chips but came back just in time for this:

Yea, boy 53 sooted for 1/4 of his chips? Who wouldn't jump at that? WHATEVER. Playing in 3 turbos right now and haven't gotten one playable hand. Yet.

Lost all 3 turbo sit n gos but only cost my bankroll $3.30 or so as the rest was the last of my $215 tournament dollars.

3 2/4 badbeat tables. Interesting. Here I am 28 minutes in and I've had the following:
JJ beaten by QQ. QQ lose to KK. KK cracked on back to back hands (once I had a set lose to a flush and the other time it lost to QQ when a Q spiked on the river. Lovely.) So up a quick $60 now sees me fighting tilt down $35. Oh well. THAT'S POKER, huh? Especially for me lately it seems. I can take the beats but it's when they all pile up on you it seems a little much. Wow, just lost with top pair AGAIN to AA. That's 3 times in 40 minutes. Wow. (LOL 4 times now in 50 minutes)

Time to settle back down and play good poker. Hopefully no more monster pocket pairs for me. :) Let's see how they're doing just for fun.

AA 1 for 1. Yay! +$25.50 net
KK 0 for 2. Boo! -$42.00 net
QQ 1 for 2. Meh. + $1.00 net
JJ 0 for 1. Sigh. - $14.00 net

I guess the back to back KK hands really ticked me off for a minute. Ah, top pair gets busted on the river AGAIN. Hooray for poker!!!!!!!!! Geeze. Wow - $93 down now and I'm playing well LOL. It happens.
