In with the best of it ... almost always

I sit here having just gone out of a $8 4 man SnG having flopped a Flush in the penultimate hand. With 8d4d I raise the 5xBB bet to 15xBB, get called, get all my chips in on the Turn and get called by his trips only to be beaten by a rivered Full House. And it rings a bell that this has been happening quite a bit recently ... since the SM a fortnight ago in fact.

Unlike RaiseTheRiver's BurnleyMik in last night's seriously tilted rant, I'm not too concerned.

Not including the pre-Paris Home Game at Jim's last Friday (a great night despite only 4 of the 7 of us turning up and where I was imagining hands - long story), I decided to study my recent run of results - all the tourneys I've played since The Sunday Million a fortnight ago. Again, as I've been so busy working, this didn't amount to many; about 3.5 hours on 25c/50c Cash Games on BlueSq and 10 or so SnGs over BlueSq, Stars and FT.

My cash game stats are looking pretty good at around $130 up at 25c/50c (with Bets | Wins columns showing I'm grinding) ;


and my Tourney Record would look OK too if it wasn't for these suck-outs! In these past 10 games, I have won bagel! $0.00!

And I know you're probably now expecting to read a run of bad beats but I ain't gonna do that. I'm just going to share it with you all (I say 'all' as if loads of you actually read this pish! ;) ) that in these past 10 tourneys, I have got my chips in whilst ahead on 7 of my final meaningful hands with the other 3 being 99 v Mair's TT All-In Pre-Flop, TQs on a Q high board v KK on the InsidePoker Freeroll, and QTs as a 28/72 dog with 4 to the flush on a 9 high board against 99. So I fell like I AM well focussed and playing intelligently enough to expect a reasonable profit from tourneys too but this just isn't happening.

I have the BritBloggerment on Stars at 8:30 tonight and a $26 Satellite to FTOPS Event #1 on FT at 7:15. If I do anything in either (or if I get sucked-out on again), you can expect to read about it on here.

L8R!
