Last night brutal, steam control bad, play unlucky and some bad call downs.
Lost 2 SNGs again-did I mention that the last 4 have been on the bubble-especially painful.
Reg limit game I was getting sucked out like crazy. A10 SB vs 33 BB and flop AQ10 and play to check raise after he popped preflop. He checks, turn K, I check now scared and pot too small to get paid off. River 3.
KK 3 bet preflop, flop A73, lose to A7 raiser.
A5 suited limp flop 442 and bet only BB calls. Turn 3, he check raises I 3 bet (he has to have a 4 to raise, right?) he calls. Turn 2, we both check, he shows J2 for bottom pair and a 2 outer.
I am now on major tilt. Screw this, I move up a level and play 6 handed. I am now prepared to blow what I have at the site and go play live if I bust. I win 1/2 of what I lost and a bigger game opens 9 handed. I win back everything I had lost and am up $17 for the night....

Ever wonder how when you are taking down a ton of pots and showing winners your bluffs work almost every time? Things tend to snowball in both directions. I guess the moral is, dont bluff if you are losing.
I thought the streak would be broken tonight, dropped 1/2 my buy in right away, then bounced right back and am up over 25 big bets, plus the SNG money.

I deposited a whopping $95 using my bank/visa ATM card, I thought that there was no way that it would go through. It was rejected from my bank once, but went through the 2nd time Full Tilt submitted it.
The other reason I dumped more money is was that my wife was getting terrible headaches and even went to the Dr. Since I was looking at a LONG weekend of staying at home taking care of the rugrats, I need something to do.
Meanwhile, I played some $.50/$1 NL and had a sick run and ran my balance over $400 in a about 3 hours. I was flopping sets w/ AA and KK, catching flushes, you name it-dumb luck, no skill, easy money.
The next day (Kentucky Derby day) I had 45 minutes to kill so I saw 5/10 limit had seat and a high average pot. I lost $250 in no time. I flopped top pair and big draw (50% multiway...
