5 tabled today for a couple hours, not only was I not playing great but I was running pretty bad. My overpairs were getting cracked by sets all over the place, and I never got paid by either of the 2 sets I flopped. I attempted 4 different Multi-table sit'n'gos, I didn't get a stack in any of those. Basically i just wasn't playing well, I havn't played in 3-4 days though. Here are my 2 favorite hands from today. My chat from the first one explains why I did what I did. The second hand was just sick, even though I folded. Anyways, down about 2/3rds of a buy-in plus 4 unsuccessful tournaments.

bahahah check, check, check, check, BAMMMMO, so sick.

Can't kick yourself for that second hand, you had the 3rd nuts ... you'll probably get paid off by a duece there. First hand raise more preflop to isolate. Turn check is kinda odd there, but good for pot control. I would've bet a little more on the river too, probably $15-$20.

I wasn't even a part of the second hand, I only posted it b/c it was hilarious.



The second hand I checked the turn to keep the pot small and to get paid off on the river, despite calling his (losing) hand. I should have either raised more preflop, or re-raised on the flop. By all means I didn't play the hand to max potential.
