Tiny Bubbles....

The last couple of days I've been playing a little of everything. Some tournaments, some HU cash, some 6max cash and some SnGs. I have been almost entirely break even over that stretch. A big reason for my lack of profit is my penchant for running super cold on the bubble in HU shootouts. Over the last two days, I have played two HU shootouts, one 20 dollar and one 10 dollar. I play well in the early rounds and get to the point where I am one match away from cashing. In the 20 dollar shootout last night, I have my opponent on the ropes when I get this hand, which to me is pretty difficult to get away from. Ok, I can recover from that... Until I get massively coolered on this hand. Again, even with the monotone board, I dont think I cant get away.

Just minutes ago I played a 10 dollar HU shootout. I was playing well again and smoothly made it through the first couple of rounds. I get to the bubble match, when on the first hand this occurs. An ugly hand for sure, and a pure set up card on the turn. Again, I dont know if I can let this go, especially since he led into me on the flop which I did not expect from a made straight. Yuck!

End rant

I did end up running really well in an Omaha super turbo for 58 bucks, coming in 7th of 174. Strangely, I didnt get a single knockout. Weird.;

Hope everyone has a great weekend. Good luck!
