Hi all. This week mookie saw a little bounce back up to 3 tables which is around what it was before the BBT5. I got 8th nothing too special happening in it.
Now with the other tourneys my god I wonder sometimes if these things are set up for action boards. In one particular super turbo I saw 3 flopped quads and this gem of a flop
Im holding pocket 6's and im all in flop comes 7 6 4 two hearts
Guess what my opponents are holding?
One is holding pocket 7's the other one is holding 8 5.
I dont know if its just me or does that seem very very off based on the amount of hands I saw seeing that amount of big time hands in such a short period. I mean people rarely see quads once in a huge session and yet seeing 3 in the course of 160 hands something about this is puting me closer to the edge saying this isnt right. Its my opinion so Im not saying its fact just doesnt seem right.
If you agree or disagree please let me know I would want to hear opinions.
Next week I wont be playing the mookie since I will be going to Las Vegas for a few days. I will write a report about my trip when I get back.

Last week of the BBT and Toc
Hey all sorry I havnt been keeping up with the blog. I had some time so I figured I would post about the final week of the BBT.
On Mondays tourney guess what beat me again lol. Yep it was aces again vs my pocket kings so yea needless to say busted early from that tourney.
On Wednesday's mookie I acutally didnt bust to aces which shocked the hell out of me. I was holding ace queen and I was short stacked so I pushed and Aquaman called with king jack off. We had a suck,resuck,re-resuck out hand where he flopped a jack I turned a queen and he rivered a king. So that busted me from that middle of the pack.
My run in the BBT5 was over after that resulting in 1 final table and 1 cash which from last year was a huge disappointment.
The toc came and went with some big things happening for my in real life friend NyRambler where he won a main event seat. Congrats to his great run this BBT and for basically running amazing when it matters most.
What ive been up to the last week basically just working and playing cash games online. My god I forgot how many fishes their are in 3/6 limit games online. Basically making my bankroll back from the horrible run of the BBT in the course of 3 days so yay me. I will write a report of my mookie right after the tourney on wed. I hope to have people read and comment on it

Monday Tourney
Shocking I get knocked out vs aces yet again. I think its a bad sign that Ive yet to see aces in these tourneys in over 2 weeks and been knocked out to them each of the last 4 tourneys of the BBT 5 events and overall of the 17 events its been close to a dozen. Im either just running like shit or am I that unlucky? I hope its just im running like crap and it goes away soon or my trip to vegas is going to hurt.

Poker Catching up
Hi again. Havnt posted in a while so I figured I would catch everyone up on how im doing.
Lets put it this way last 4 of the 5 BBT tourneys have been busted vs aces when I've been holding 10's of better yay me. I've had to push with them preflop since ive been running cold. On mondays tourney at one point I was so cold I only had 1 ace and a total of 3 playable hands out of a run of 65 hands.
Im been just running horrid for the better part of the last 3 months which Im not too happy about, but yea what can you do. Hopefully for the last week of the BBT5 I just want to cash. Based off last years performance getting 13th and a win last year Im not liking how im playing atm.

This week in blogger tourneys
Hi. This week I didnt win either tourney but I did have decent runs. In the money tourney I finished in the mid 20's which is decent but no cash. That tourney didnt really have much to note about, just played the cards how they were and busted out on a hand that was a coinflip nothing I can do.
The mookie I managed to finish in 7th place so I made some money which was good. The final 2 tables I didnt get a single hand better then king 6 suited which was shocking since it was about 60 hands, cue violin music. I managed to just claw and kick my way into making the final table so its a step in a positive direction.
Congrats to hoy for winning on monday and as for the mookie winner Im not sure who you are but it was like watching a trainwreck. The plays made were beyond crazy and made me wonder whats going on here. Hey whatever works for ya, as you got the seat and I dont have one as of yet.

The Mookie 4/21/10
Last night saw the biggest mookie tourney ever, 122 people. Its a nice comeback for a tourney that was having a semi-hard time breaking 40. I didnt fair so hot in the tourney going on in the 90's when my set of queens got run down by a runner runner flush to cripple me and then my ace queen lost to an 8 7 again by runner runner flush. What can I do there. Congrats go to aquaman, aka xkm, for getting his seat into the Tournament of Champions.
Also Congrats are in order for Pushmonkey, Rambler, and everyone else that got invites into the freeroll events. Even though I didnt get one I'm not upset about it since I know I'm still the new kid on the block when it comes to the blogging community so wasn't expecting to have my name called for it. Either way I still wish everyone thats doing those freerolls luck and no bad beats, but you know those will happen.
Until next time. Turtle Out

Starting a New
Hi again. I havnt posted in a while so I figured I would start now since the news of the BBT5 is offical now. I have to thank AlCantHang for again providing the blogger community a chance to be able to play in the biggest event of the year, the WSOP. When the last BBT came around I was fairly new to the blogger community and to the people playing the tourneys on a regular basis. I hope that since the last BBT I have made a better impression on people then I did last year. I know that the people playing the Mookie and listen to Buddy Dank Radio will know me as Turtle from the peanut gallery. I try to ad what I can to that show and I have to thank everyone doing the show for letting me be on it on a regular basis and to deal with my crap and of course Ramblers. I will be writing more frequent about my poker playing and just other stuff in general. I hope to hear your comments and possible ideas for things people want me to talk about

Poker Talk Again
Hey one and all its me again coming out of my vacation of the blogging to start it up again. First off I did play some tourneys between my last posting and this but other then being gilgi in one of the mookies been basically same as it usually is missing out of the money or final table or hell both.
Tonight I decided to post just for the fact that I did well in tonight skillz game and basically losing a tiny bit of respect for Heffmike and his chat when we were heads up. Tonight it was horse and everyone knows im not a fan of the high low games, but tonight I kinda tried to not play them to the extent I do the other games and see how it works. Turned out to be a decent stragety like I said before getting 2nd.
With the heads up I had a pretty decent chip lead over heffmike I think it started out 3-1 me or something around that we played back and forth for a while he won hands I won hands. Then when I was shorty and started to catch he was getting mad in the chat, hell I did that in the past also but I was more pissed about my luck not the other person's play/luck, but when I was all in and doubled up I told him I had 2 pair, this is stud btw, by 4th street he goes ugh duh u think. Thats kind of a slap in the face just to be a jerk for no reason. I mean he caught cards on 7th street on me I just asked him did you catch on 7th. Numbs answer I like when I ask him but basically just being unsportsmanlike is dissapointing. I know hes a good player and all that but you got to be a good person as well. It took a smack of reality for me to go in this direction, something private and family only so please dont ask, but I mean not cool man.
This little blogger tourney community we have we shouldnt be hating one another or being nasty to each other for just how the cards fall. I know when I did that it was wrong and I told the person the next time I saw them I was sorry. I just hope this little rant might help and just show that im not annoyed or upset just disappointed and again lost a bit of respect for you Heffmike, not the poker player, but the man

BBT TOC/ Las Vegas
I waited to post about the BBT since I was kind of upset about what happened to me to get taken out. I was hanging around the starting stack for the first 2 hours due to the fact I didnt get any hands to play around with. Basically the 3rd hour was when I got hands to play with and even got to around 20k in chips. When it got to 10 people left the hand that crippled me was my pocket 10's vs smallboatdrinks pocket 9's we got it in preflop. Turn gives him a set and gives me like 4k in chips and I was basically done and I was taken out in 9th when my ace 5 got beat down in a race vs king jack. Tens were the hand that hurt me this tourney as I lost with them 5 times.
Rambler and I got into vegas around 1030am on wed morning after a early flight. We met up with a bunch of cardplayer fourms posters and bloggers in the evening but before that we went over to the rio for the wsop and I attempted to get into the 1500 nl event by getting some sat tokens. I got 2nd when a guy didnt want to chop even though basically there was no real difference in chips between us and every other table was chopping at the final 2. So it wasnt ment to be because even though I brought enough to buy in directly I wasnt planning on that so just watched.
We met up with the group from the fourms, not puting names so I dont forget anyone and so I dont screw up on names cause I suck at them lol, and we played some 4/8 limit at Mirage first night I got crushed only winning 1 pot. Go me. Next day we again went to play cards this time at bellagio and did alright over there. Then we went to go check the wsop again at night to see how one of the people we knew, shifty, was doing. When we get there hes on a table next to the rail with Humberto Brennes, who I found out after the fact I went to school and even played softball in a beerleague with his nephew. He was asking us about the basketball game score and we even saw Hellmuth jump out of his seat when Derek Fisher hit the big shot. I wasnt a happy camper since I bet on the magic that game so lost 20 bucks again go me lol. This night was also a great night since we got to see Phil Hellmuth have a bitchfest when he was taken out. He went to the other side of the room where the shootout tourney was going on and just was pissed off then he lays down on a few chairs and with his phone in the air. Im not sure who threw the line out but was basically funny as hell, Honey Im twittering. He was there for over an hour like that we were thinking this is a tiny tourney for him I wonder how long his rants are if they are the major tourneys We go back to the strip and rambler goes to bed I go with the other guys and play cards again at the mirage and did well that night going up 230 bucks area but still down for the trip.
Next day we went to go watch shifty play in the wsop for day 2 since he did cash so that was kind of interesting. I believe this was the night when something or better yet someone you wouldnt expect to be playing low stakes played with all of us on a horse game for a round of the games. We wanted to try to get a horse game started at the Mirage but the pitboss said we had to wait till 10pm for the dealer switch so we went and played different games for a while. Im sitting out of a hand when shifty walks over and says Jerry Buss is going to play with us. I was thinking there is no way he could crush us with his wallet plus I would think he would be in Orlando to see his lakers win the title if they do out there. When we get the game all set Jerry Buss comes over and I walk over to shifty and say I thought you were joking. I was sitting to his right and I got 2 pictures of him with me which I will post on here. It was pretty fun playing with him only one person asked him for an signature and we were joking around with him which was pretty cool.
Sat was the interesting day. I dont really remember which came first but 2 things happened. We all were playing in the 120 donkament at the Venitian we had a last longer bet with 9 people playing I didnt win a hand never had a hand higher then ace 10 suited for 2 hours which is horrid even for me lol but while on the rail this older german man comes up to me and nick on the rail and starts pointing to tickets for the blueman group from 2 nights earlier and we were confused what was happening but then we figured it out cause they had 25 free slot play on it so we got it all signed up played the slots and got 15 bucks each since peka came as well and we split it. That night or early morning at the bellagio they had a massage lady come by and im like screw it im getting a massage. It sounds really weird but an old german man got me a massage lol. That night was also sweet cause I got into a big pot for 4/8 standards where the turn got 6 bet and river got 8 bet and I win with a full house to a guys flush. I had the fullhouse on the turn he rivered the flush just everyone is clear lol. Ended the night up about 250 on that table alone with the prop bets of red/black and numbers.
Sunday I got killed in everything I did. Lost 300 bucks on blackjack and final 4 hands I played were 25 bucks each dealer got blackjack all 4 times not a good start. Cash game at the V still didnt win a hand on my first cash table so down another 200 watched rambler for a while then said screw it played again on his table 1st hand I won was with aces and they heald. 2nd time I had aces I got chased down by this moron playing 2 3 of hearts with flop of 8 10 3 one heart and me betting each street runner runner flush and im hurt again. We leave to get food with Tommy at the noodle bar and watch the final 9 mins of the nba finals and see everyone cheer in the room since L.A won. We go over to Mirage to say goodbye to everyone since they were going to the Wynn so it was basically me rambler and albino, he went to the sit and go tourney. The hand of the cash game for me and Rambler was he had aces I had 3 5 clubs flop i get open ended straight draw turn I get my straight he makes his set and I also have a straight flush draw so we get 4 bets in river pairs the board and makes my flush so I take a hit to end the trip.
So overall I went down about 1200 bucks but I mean I had a great time so in the end the money doesnt matter too much, would of been nice to win or even get into the wsop but oh well. Also with these pictures I want to ask people if I really do look like turtle from Entorague since I was told that at least a dozen times lol

Skillz Game
Tonight I got to play in this since I didnt have work. It was Omaha high low so basically Im going into it just to have some fun. Basically play a few hands and went out pretty early for me within 20 mins. I had a good hand on the flop. I had a set vs a super ultra wheel draw that got there not 1 time but both the turn and river so away I go. Tomorrow night I wont be playing in the Mookie due to work which im not liking working from 1130pm-6am then 10am-630pm next day so looking at a long cranky thursday night. I will be watching the Mookie before I go to work so I will be the railbird for the night. I know on BRD they were doing odds on players in the TOC of winning WSOP seats I just wonder what mine would be? If people want to throw odds for me to make it I would be interested. Hope to see and have a few people rooting for me on sunday.

Brit Blogger Game/BBT Big Game/BBT Big Game Mulligan
All I can say is wow from this day. Went from horrible feeling when I woke up to right now before I go to sleep feeling amazing. I finally did it I won a Blogger tourney and not just and blogger tourney but the Big Game with top prize of 1284.87. Today was my last shot to get my seat so basically this is huge for me.
But I will get into that when I talk more in depth on it. Brit game I didnt do so hot basically just getting smashed by the deck. Hand that took me out was opponents aces to my queens so out before first break.
The Mulligan game I was doing alright for a while and got my stack up to basically about 8000 which was my high then just I began to bleed chips and got knocked out in the bottom half not exactly sure where.
The Big Game. Basically when this started I was focused just to get into the points so I could secure top 20 since that would be nice even if I didnt get a seat for the TOC. Basically was getting knocked down and needed to double up a few time to get to the top 18 since I was getting low just missing or worse kicker those kind of things. When it got into the points I was short stack with about 4000 when chip leader had about 24k in that area so I was kinda getting desperate. I had a double up hit my way got to the final 10 then this hand happens

This pot basically changed my whole thinking from ok I might get into the money to hell I have a shot at this thing now. Going into the final table I was 2nd or 3rd not sure which. Listening to BRD tonight was interesting since most of the people in the final 5 were on air and playing didnt really change much but was different since it kinda felt more to me at least like a live tourney. The final 5 people only Numb and I didnt have a seat so if I didnt win I would be rooting for Numb to take it down since hes a pretty solid player IMO and just didnt catch the cards at the right time, kinda like how I am 99.9% of the time. 4th went to Shabazz Jenkins when I had a higher pp then him. When it got to three handed with BuddyDank, MiamiDon and myself I asked if either would take a deal if it got to heads up with me, they both said no so I knew I had to win it to get it. I took a huge gamble vs miami when I heald 5's to his ace 10 off and he spiked a ten on the turn to basically cripple me I was down to 14k chips area with blinds at 2500/5k. I then became a card rack and clawed my way all the way back into connention when buddy doubled me up with ace 4 to my ace queen. A few hands later Buddy got taken out so it was down to me and MiamiDon. This was my best placeing so far so either way was happy with my play. First hand of heads up I double up when I hit a flush to his 2 pair. Next hand this happens.

I was just in total shock for like a minute since I went from having little to no shot, to taking down the title, the 1st place prize of 1284.87 and the final seat into the TOC. Is this my biggest win ever on a poker site, no. Is it something I needed to get some needed confidence hells yes. I wasnt feeling to great about my poker game just because I think I play too vanilla, maybe I still do but maybe this is what I needed to kick start what I used to be. See everyone at the TOC.
But I will get into that when I talk more in depth on it. Brit game I didnt do so hot basically just getting smashed by the deck. Hand that took me out was opponents aces to my queens so out before first break.

This pot basically changed my whole thinking from ok I might get into the money to hell I have a shot at this thing now. Going into the final table I was 2nd or 3rd not sure which. Listening to BRD tonight was interesting since most of the people in the final 5 were on air and playing didnt really change much but was different since it kinda felt more to me at least like a live tourney. The final 5 people only Numb and I didnt have a seat so if I didnt win I would be rooting for Numb to take it down since hes a pretty solid player IMO and just didnt catch the cards at the right time, kinda like how I am 99.9% of the time. 4th went to Shabazz Jenkins when I had a higher pp then him. When it got to three handed with BuddyDank, MiamiDon and myself I asked if either would take a deal if it got to heads up with me, they both said no so I knew I had to win it to get it. I took a huge gamble vs miami when I heald 5's to his ace 10 off and he spiked a ten on the turn to basically cripple me I was down to 14k chips area with blinds at 2500/5k. I then became a card rack and clawed my way all the way back into connention when buddy doubled me up with ace 4 to my ace queen. A few hands later Buddy got taken out so it was down to me and MiamiDon. This was my best placeing so far so either way was happy with my play. First hand of heads up I double up when I hit a flush to his 2 pair. Next hand this happens.

I was just in total shock for like a minute since I went from having little to no shot, to taking down the title, the 1st place prize of 1284.87 and the final seat into the TOC. Is this my biggest win ever on a poker site, no. Is it something I needed to get some needed confidence hells yes. I wasnt feeling to great about my poker game just because I think I play too vanilla, maybe I still do but maybe this is what I needed to kick start what I used to be. See everyone at the TOC.

skillz/mookie
waited a few days on these since these hurt a little bit when I got taken out in both. In the skillz game it was the story of basically running into things a tiny bit better then me on 7th street. It could of been earlier but who knows with the card switching which makes no sense to me. But out early in this and no points.
Mookie basically first hand was my high point with chips as I hit my flush and had an open ended straight draw to a persons set. The hand that took me out I knew the person I was playing vs didnt have an ace on a board of ace queen 6 I hold king queen. My king hits on the river but it also gives me a flush and thats what busts me. Just bad timing on that but again no points or cash in mookie but that im used to lol.
Sunday is the last day of the BBT and my last chance to win a tourney and get a seat which I would love to get. Like some people know I am going to vegas June 10-14 so if I do get lucky enough and win a 2k seat or more I would use it for a wsop event. Im really considering playing in either the 1500 no limit tourney on the 11th event 24 if people are looking for that or 1500 limit tourney on the 12th event 26. I hope that I get into the top 20 in points also since right now im #20. I hope to see everyone sunday.

Mookie/Brit Blogger
Well im writing after the brit blogger tourney about these two. I did make points in both of these which is good but only 1 cash. With the Mookie I was playing a bit more loose then I normally do and it seemed to be working for the most part. Got a good double up when I had 10's vs 8's hold for me. Basically went out on a coinflip after I hit my over he hit his set.
Brit Blogger I thought I was finally going to break through and win a blogger tourney since I was on the end of hitting the 2 and 3 outers. I got 3rd once again which is kinda my high point in these since this is my 5th third place in this BBT. I was facing kat and jo so I was basically the odd person out so I was the bad guy lol. The hand that took me out was vs kat when she heald ace 2 of crubs and I had ace 4 of hearts and she hits a set of 2's to take me out in 3rd. Jo won the tourney so gratz to her.
With these 2 in the points I get into the top 20 so hopefully I stay there since the 25k of ftp would be nice so I can get either another jersey or just stockpile them up. Tomorrow night is the last PPI of the BBT so I hope to see everyone there.

PPI
Well today was a weird day. I was planning on going to the mets game with my brother since we wanted to see Santana vs Lowe. We were looking into the tickets online and saw a ton of seats still on sale so we figured we can buy them at the stadium since for the 15 dollar seats they had a 7.50 service charge which is pretty stupid. We get to the window the guy says the cheapest he has are 100 dollars. Keep in mind this was about 30 mins after we left the house with the computer saying 15 were on sale and in a big amount. We werent happy to see when we got back to his apartment that there was a giant section of seats that no one ever sat in. I find that to be complete bullshit. To top off this experience we got to talk to a guy and said how can they sell that much in that short of time and he went "Tough." Douchebag right there so screw it wont be attending as many games as I planned on.
Anyway back to the reason for the post. I got into the points of the PPI ending up in 11th place. I only played 8% of the hands I saw which if you know percents is pretty horrid. I usually play pocket pairs, suited connectors, big cards and once in a while bluff but still saw 19 flops out of 229 which is crazy. I got very lucky when I played king queen vs ace 9offsuit(I hate that hand sooooooo much) and rivered a straight to his set of aces. The only other hand I really pushed with was jacks vs king queen off and the jacks held for me. This is my first points in a while so im feeling alright just wish I got to have some more hands to play with because even though I play like that it gets annoying when other people get hands over and over and over again and you see 2 3 over and over and over btw not suited. Tomorrow I should be playing in the Skillz game hopefully I can do well again since I do want points but really want a win.
BTW I gotta thank Numbbono for his comment he gave me I know I cant win everyone but I get where you were coming from and I know it was words of encouragement so I want to thank you for that. Also I want to give a shout out to Buddy and Joananda for their engagement. Congratz :).

PPI/Skillz Game
These tourneys for me sucked. It might sound like im either making this crap up or just bitching a bit too much, but im just really getting annoyed of how when I have aces and never seem to win and when I face aces I cant crack them. The PPI I had aces 2 times and lost to king queen and king ten, the king queen lost to trip queens and king ten to straight. Went out with queens vs aces.
Skillz game I lost when I flopped a set with another pair so I had some out but I ran into a flush and couldnt improve. Then when I go all in I have queens again vs aces and lose
Tomorrow night Idk if im going to be home from work but right now the way im running idk even if I do get home I would even play it since it would be a quick 11 dollar loss but who knows.

Mookie
I am knocked out very early when I had a donkey hit a set vs me with my overpair. It was 40/80 blinds utg raises to 225 LGkiev calls and Im holding jacks reraise to 660 both of them call flop comes 6 8 9 2 spades all check I bet all in and guess who is holding 9's but LG. I find him on the other table he/she is moved to and I just put lucky then he goes
LGkiev: anytime someone hits a set vs a higher pair.. is it luck?
Of course its luck you moron. Oh well I guess I shouldnt be shocked since this month had been pretty crappy for me. Hopefully May is better for me and hopefully I dont run as crappy as I have been.

PPI/Skillz Game
Posting on these two tourneys since after the PPI I went to bed since I had a bunch of running around to do the next day. The PPI I either do well or just cant catch a thing and flame out. The 2nd thing happened to me when I went all in with 2 people with king high flush draw to queen high flush draw vs pocket 10's with board of jack ace and a low card nothing hit so I lost pretty early. Usually dont do this but was just like screw it either I triple up or get taken out since I wasnt high in chips to start with.
Skillz game I wasnt too happy since it was stud high/low. If you know my favorite and least favorite games this is on the bottom. I just dont like the fact that basically people can suck out hitting low cards while you have a set or something. I just went in like screw it going to have fun and not take it too serious. Beginning couldnt catch a hand to save my life the one hand that got me on my rush was vs MiamiDon and a 3rd person im forgetting. I had 6's under with king showing someone bet and we all called my 4th card was another 6 so I was pretty happy thinking I would win this again someone bets I reraise and calls by 6th street I had a fullhouse with kings and all the chips were in 3rd guy was on low draw and MiamiDon had wrapped 5's from the start and didnt improve. I vaulted into 2nd place and took 2 bounties.
From there I just played my normal razz game and my normal stud game and didnt mix them went with one or the other and I got to the final table. This was a big thing for me since this month ive only done 9 events and 1st final table and 2nd point so after a good march april was pretty crappy. A big hand on the final table was again 3 handed pot it was I got a flush vs 2 peoples 2 pair and I take down another 2 bounties and got myself into 2nd in chips behind BWOP. I then just was sitting for a while and when it was down to 4 I hit the unlucky streak of having 2 pair and losing on 7th street 2 times in 4 hands basically crippling me. I got 3rd overall so I should get some decent points.
I hopefully can keep the good run going because I really do need it. In the BBT so far have gotten 3 or 4 3rd place finishes and 1-2 mid of the pack for final tables. I want to just get the seat once and break through since I havnt won a blogger tourney besides NYRamblers. Also just want to cash in the mookie since the only other time I have I made -50 cents go figure lol. Hope to see everyone tomorrow night

I had 6's under with king showing someone bet and we all called my 4th card was another 6 so I was pretty happy thinking I would win this again someone bets I reraise and calls by 6th street I had a fullhouse with kings and all the chips were in 3rd guy was on low draw and MiamiDon had wrapped 5's from the start and didnt improve. I vaulted into 2nd place and took 2 bounties.
From there I just played my normal razz game and my normal stud game and didnt mix them went with one or the other and I got to the final table. This was a big thing for me since this month ive only done 9 events and 1st final table and 2nd point so after a good march april was pretty crappy. A big hand on the final table was again 3 handed pot it was I got a flush vs 2 peoples 2 pair and I take down another 2 bounties and got myself into 2nd in chips behind BWOP. I then just was sitting for a while and when it was down to 4 I hit the unlucky streak of having 2 pair and losing on 7th street 2 times in 4 hands basically crippling me. I got 3rd overall so I should get some decent points.
I hopefully can keep the good run going because I really do need it. In the BBT so far have gotten 3 or 4 3rd place finishes and 1-2 mid of the pack for final tables. I want to just get the seat once and break through since I havnt won a blogger tourney besides NYRamblers. Also just want to cash in the mookie since the only other time I have I made -50 cents go figure lol. Hope to see everyone tomorrow night

The Big Game/PPI
I havnt posted in a while cause I havnt played much really due to work. The ones i played from my last post didnt really have anything good or horrid happen just nothing. The Big Game and PPI are different though
The Big Game I was thinking it was going to be a 75 tourney so I went and got a 75 token, but when I look I see its a totally different set up so kinda bummed about getting the token cause more then likely will sit until I get on a hot streak. But anyway not a good day at work, so wasnt in the greatest of moods to begin with. Play vs Twoblackaces one hand Im holding kings he raises to like 160 I reraise 3 times his bet. Flop comes 9 8 4 or something like that rainbow. I bet he calls turn blank I bet basically going all in and we have a showdown hes holding 9 8 offsuit so bad luck for me. I rebuy and do the add on and then I get into a hand blind vs blind im holding king 8 off flop comes k 7 3. I check he bets i call. Turn is k I bet he reraises I go all in he calls. He shows king 7 so im out very early and just am crushed about that
PPI. Today was a crappy day as it rained all day so I played the 26 token tourneys I played 2 and got 2 tokens so I was happy about that. I go play tonight and basically was sitting about where I was at the start. Jo comes onto the table with a hello shes a nice person so not going to say anything negative, but man when I play her she always beats me. Im holding ace queen mid positing Jo from 2nd utg raises I call and everyone else folds. Flop comes q q 7 we both check turn comes 6 she bets I call river 4 she bets I go all in she calls and she has pocket 7's so Im out in 36th.
I dont know what I did to piss off the luck gods or whatever a higher power is but man I need to just have a run of luck because I really really do need it. I cant keep running bad can I?
