Forgot the bust out hand on the last match

Standard heads up cooler I guess:

2 1/2 hours = $86.88

in rake heads up at the $50 NL tables. Wow. If a had a huge bankroll I think I would love playing $100 HU all day long (assuming I could make money at it).

Got set over setted in my first match and lost a total of $60. Went on to play 3 more guys. The last match was against an aggro donk that I bluffed way too much. Very stupid of me but you live and learn I guess. Had him on the ropes twice and let him wriggle free only to finally beat him out of $60. It should've been well over $100 but like I said I stink. Here's some key hands. The good, bad and ugly.

Ah, the first two hands are the bust out hands. I call them gifts but whatever:

This guy was incredibly donisk and tiltish but super aggro. He wanted to play massive pots and I'm just not usually comfortable making massive calls HU with marginal holdings. Combine that with my own donkish bluffs and you have a match that should've been over in 20 minutes lasting around an hour.

Bouncing around

between $300 and $400. haha I see I'm actually down $30 since my last update. Sweet.

Zero success in the MTTs lately which isn't helping. I guess I'm staying afloat by beginning to figure out NL cash at the $10 tables. Tilt is still a problem but I've strung together some winning sessions 6 tabling. I can't believe it's been this difficult but whatever. I'll move up to $25 if I ever get to $800 (not including any MTT winnings).

Here's my favorite hand from yesterday's $5.50 3k starting stack MTT. Oh it was the 5th hand of the tourney and the two monkeys had already lost 1/3 of their stack. I don't think I've ever played AK this way in the 1st level ever. Thought I was screwed when they both called:
