Breaking even

Not much movement in the online balance for the past month, which is a change from the previous two months or so, when my bankroll skyrocketed. Lots of reasons:

— Took most of a week off while playing live poker and getting ready to go to Vegas.

— Took a week off while in Vegas.

— Played not so great on my return from Vegas.

— Spent one night taking the worst run of bad beats in my life. Lost the following hands, all of them all-in before the flop. (Didn't get run down trying to slowplay people.)

AQ vs. AT: Villain rivered a straight.
AK vs. JT: This was the very next hand from the one listed above. Villain rivered a straight.
KK vs. TT: Villain rivered a ten.
QQ vs. 56s: Villain raised and then called my shove because he was committed. Ran me down.
TT vs. AT: Villain turned a straight.
AK vs. AA: OK, so I had the worst of this one. But it's wonderful when you're shortstacked and an opponent wakes up with AA at a shorthanded table.

Oddly enough, I ended up ahead for this night. Finished fourth and first in the last two tournaments I played.

Current bankroll: $1,288.

OPR ranking: 98.45.

Seems like you didn't try hard enough.
