So far, no winning sessions in Arizona. Arriving early at the Wildhorse Casino I checked into a 4/8 game to earn some extra chips for the noon tournament. 2 hours of play doubles your starting stack from 1000 to 2000 chips. The structure is 25/25 starting blinds, with 20 minute levels. Getting stuck $64 bucks, I was running super card dead. At the 5th level, with blinds at 200/400 I had only 2 big blinds, so shoved 2 UTG with A/10. Called in two places I saw a queen high flop, which bet out all in, not a good sign, particularly when he was called by another player who had him covered. The caller had pocket 6's, and hit a set on the flop. 2 players down.
Signing up for a 3/6 game, I just kept getting drawn out on. It was like the Moose, only worse. My AK went down to 5/7 suited that hit a river flush (king high flop). Then, my flopped set of 6's also fell to a flush. Finally, stuck $120, got on a mini-heater, winning with AK, then tripling up with the biggest pot of the day with KK vs. QQ and two other hands in a kill pot. It was my kill, and when my option came around, I raised and was re-raised by another player. I capped, and two players were all in with $2 in the side pot. I just kept betting with no overcards and scooped the whole thing. Now up about 20, I played a few hands and cashed out even for that session. not a good outing, but avoided disaster.

Forgot to mention, they have an an "aces cracked" $100 bonus. There were two of them won at our table, the third one he beat me with them.
I'm sorry you're getting frustrated. That's no fun and believe me I know. My poker playing lately is making me depressed. The last FIVE times that I went all-in with the best hand I got beat on the river every time. Talk about frustrating. I hope things will improve when you get back up here. I can't believe there's any place worse that the Moose, but still I continue to play there. I like 99% of the people - I think that's the big draw anywhere you choose to play. At least you broke even - could've been worse!
