Coming home

Wow. Another one of those runs that makes you wonder how anyone makes money playing poker. I have never suffered a run of bad beats like this--much worse than my previous post about terrible beats. I will spare you the stories because everyone has heard them more times that I care to mention. I honestly can't stomach cash games right now.

That being said I opened 4 SNG's on Stars. Last month I murdered SNG's for a week or so, thus I decided no better place to calm down and atleast break even. I finished 8th (ran into KK with AQ on Q high flop), 4th (don't remember getting above 1500 in chips), 2nd (guy hits a 5 outer heads up with 95% of the chips in preflop with KQ vs. K7--almost broke my mouse on this one), and 1st (finally a win--after cracking AA w/ 99 to stay alive 4 handed).

Still down $71 on the day, but that beat heads up in a $50+5 would have put me more than even. I think I'll be playing SNG's for a while. I know Bobby won't like to read this, but oh well. With an ROI on the day of 72.7% I like SNG's a lot right now. I am profitable and stay off tilt much easier when the suckouts only cost $20+2 instead of my $150 stack at a table.
