....sigh...why can't I play cash games?

Is it me or just incredibly bad luck?

So then I went on to play some MTTs. Got 16 in a $2 400+ person tourney for a whopping $4 profit. Played a $5 Knockout Tourney, got 416 out of 800+. and then proceeded to donk it up in the $24 - 24k guarantee. Add in my losses from the cash game and I'm down $100 tonight. Time to go back to my $10+1 SNGs....sigh....

Before I go, here's a typical big loss hand from one of my cash sessions tonight...:

I had sat down with $20 at this table so was up slightly and playing very well. Good reads on my opponents, pushing when I needed to etc.

It seems like I'm playing the cash games well but then I'll have one bad hand and an hour of profit is gone instantly.

I just purchased PokerTracker so I'll post some stats tomorrow or on Thursday. Perhaps we can identify some areas to work on.

See you at the virtual felt,

DubsPoke
Bankroll: $585
