“I raise”

Well I haven’t posted for over a week which you can basically translate as I wasn’t winning! Had a crazy 7 days of poker, pretty much all last week I got my ass handed to me repeatedly and I was really stressed out. Had to withdraw a big chunk of money for non-poker related stuff and I "thought" I had left myself enough of a roll to comfortably multi table the $22’s but oh no, I forgot about the variance monster who preys upon the weak and vunerable waiting for the perfect moment to strike down upon thee with great vengeance!

So obv I went on a crappy downswing costing me somewhere around $300-$400, which wouldn’t normally be a problem… but it was. End of Thurs night, I figured I pretty much had to drop down a level to avoid the risk of ruin, I was pretty fucked off with myself and poker in all honesty.

Becoming a reclusive hermit I decided to stay in this weekend and put in some serious hours and "sort my shit out". Well it went pretty well… in fact, I finished the weekend in profit just short of $2k. Awesome, variance monster has a nice side too, bit of a jekyl and hyde character he is.

I’ve put the full results below, but to summarise, the majority of the money came from 2 mtt’s, I didn’t win either which was a bit annoying, but 3rd and 2nd still pay out a significant amount to get me out of a hole. All in all I profited at every level stt I played, and cashed in 5 out of 10 MTTs final tabling 3 of them. Fucking awesome, I want every session to be like that!
