After almost a month without a final table and a profitable day I am bursting and very pleased to get a score. Yesterday I took some time off from online and heading to our local casino for some $1-2 NL and a small $55 buy-in tournament. I played well in the cash game and in about an hour and a half came out just above even ($25). The tournament was a very fast structure (can't blame them for wanting to get the things done with quickly- five tables and only $250 going to the house they aren't making much money) and I found myself in shove mode after the first break (an hour and a half and 4 levels). I shoved several times mostly based on position spots and finally got JJ utg and shoved for 3900 (5k starting, 200-400), sb calls and holds with QQ.
Today, things were about the same as I had left them. My roll had dwindled about $1600 at its peak and I was not looking very good. I have always taken a good view of losing streaks but this length of one was ridiculous. I played only 6 mtts tonight and the one I made a deep run in was the $2 rebuy rush turbo==Cramsession. I ran pretty well until the final table where the avg stack was always 20bbs or less. I picked good shove spots and when we got 3 handed we all had around 4-5million. The button raised to 1million (100k-200k 10k ante) as he had been overraising and I autoshove AJo in the sb. bb folds and he calls with A8o with me covered by about 900k. He flops the 8 and I don't improve. 3700first, 2400 second. 1700 third. I'll take it. It sucks cause this guy got very lucky so many times but it happens. Bankroll restored at $2600 and I can breathe again!
