In conclusion, fuck tens.

Today after doubling up early in the FTOPS with set over set I didn't win a single pot for two hours and constantly ran my good hands into better ones.

Oh, the best part was that I had decided to quit for the day and had nothing left but the $55x3 on Stars (about half an hour in) and a couple of those $60/45 turbos. Needless to say I bubbled the last $60/45 and wasted another three hours to finish 13th in the $55x3 when my JJ < A4o (A river obv).

Also, I was bored during this time and sweated a few people in the FTOPS event, and watched them all bust (mostly on suckouts) not long after I pulled them up.

I feel like I don't have any control over my results and life is just fucking with me, finding a way to cost me every tournament in the most painful way possible. At least if I bust early I can go do something else.

Back to the drawing board, I guess. I feel some sliding back, so I have to correct that before I play again. Getting up tomorrow and getting some real exercise again (I had an exhausting weekend-- physically, that is) will help.
