After a 4 day winning streak, I have gone the other way. Cutting back on cash games and focusing on tournaments seems like a cheaper way to go. Wednesday, playing in a turbo, bubbled final table when I misjudged a player's all in. He had min raised 2 under the gun and I was in big blind with 7/7. The flop was 6/6/3, and I checked. He shoved and I put him on A/J, A/Q or small pair. Wrong. He had 10/10. Oh well, best showing so far in this particular game, starting to figure out players.
Yesterday, played almost a freeroll, cost $5 due to my $20 coupon. Played very well down to 20 players from 64 entries when I picked up Q/Q on the button with one limped. Raising to 1200 with blinds at 200/400, one caller. Flop was Q/x/x. No real draws and bet 1200 when checked to me. Call. Turn brought J of hearts and player shoves and had me covered. With no better hand possible i called. He turns over 9/10 of hearts, giving him both flush and straight draws. River is a heart which does not pair the board and i am done. Play it different next time? Don't think so. He was dumb to call my flop bet, then lucky to get runner runner.
Played omaha for a couple hours losing 1 1/2 buy ins. The high hands at our table were insane with quad aces, then quad kings, then quad aces again which were beaten by a flopped royal flush!!! I was in that hand with an 8 high flush, but quickly folded. Only "bright" spot was winning $45 on poker machine while waiting for my seat.
