Races suck

So far I havent played in every weekly/monthly tourney, but every one I have played in I've cashed. Well, that streak ended tonight in a big way. out 116th.

looked good for a while, my method in these has been slow & steady, play a tight game and wait for good spots. I was pretty shortstacked at one point, built up to 15k in chips and felt like I'd make a deep run. then it all blew up in 2 hands where i just could not win a race.

first was AK vs. 10s, lost that one to drop to about 6k. 2 hands later picked up k10 and figured with only about 6 BBs left that was good enough. got called by 88 w/8 of hearts and 4 hearts hit the board. gg me :(

not really. i was feeling very good about how i was playing and the way things were going, then BAM, done. that's the way it's been lately for me though.

as i write, shortstacked in the $550. we'll see where that goes...

well, where it went was out in 56th. just could not get anything going at all. ended up all in w/J7, but amazingly, ended up heads up against the clown who limped from the button with the 47 (but, of course, they were sooooooooooooooted) and spiked a 4 on the turn. sick.
