Hell Week Complete

I shouldn't really call it Hell week. It was probably the first time I've EVER worked for more than 40 hours in a week though.

A lot of the time throughout, I felt like I was running unlucky. While this was probably true to a certain point, I honestly wasn't playing very well. I played a number of hands poorly, even when winning them. I limped with KK in the SB, let J5 see a flop AND turn to get a AQKT board, and then reraised his strength bet all in only to not improve. Doesn't sound that horrible, but it was ugly.

SNG strategy is not really the issue, I don't think. I know enough SNG strategy to fill a book (idea). I think it was that I was playing too many tables!

As many people who tell me "how can you remember what's going on?", I would say it's a set in stone strategy. But then I realized it's really not.

My game is a hybrid between virgin tight and prostitute looseness. And it always depends on the situation, but WAY too often have I been checking in spots where if I were playing 16, I would absolutely follow through with a C-bet.

When I run bad (losing an abnormal amount of crucial all ins), it seems like I am winning a lot of small pots and losing a lot big ones. Need to get back to basics for next week.

Also, I made that $2,000 for my VPP bonus, but I ended up LOSING to jnfpoker - who put up just under 1600 points :. Not only did he take me for $500, he bumped me off the leaderboard! From 15th and $80, to 16th and squat. Ah well. So including bonuses and bets:

WEEK PROFIT - $7,542.00 or $179.57 bucks an hour.

Next week, I really want to make some $ on both leaderboards. I am considering playing the 18-mans to start off the week, as I have absolutely no shot to win the Low Orbit otherwise.

Oh, and some chick at one of my tables last night said she just won her 6th Step 6 ($5k ish). I've played against her before and she's decent, but nothing special. I am quite sure that those Steps will be in my near future, I just have to organize a gameplan for them.

Alright, well it's been a busy busy week but I suppose those numbers make it worthwhile at the end of it.
