More Venting (BB)

Well, I'm officially out of tokens. And I think I'm done with all this Tier crap as well. It's not the format or anything, and it's not really that I've been playing bad, but my luck of recent has just been the worst that I can ever remember it being, and it especially sucks when stuff like this happens on Tier Two and Tier Three. Played one of each today, and busted out on two craptacular hands...

First a $24+2 Tier Two 18-player SNG. Down to the final 8...

Then, just now in a $69+6 Tier Three 9-player SNG. Would've played an 18 probably but none were available. I had just lost about 1/3rd of my stack here a few hands earlier trying to take a short-stack out w/ my AKo vs. his 55.

Sick, just freaking sick. And it's been happening way too often, as well as all of my coinflip situations being shot down in flames. I'm done for now. Probably going to take the rest of the month off, and then just go back to playing straight up $5 STT's for a while. Another goal of mine is to win one of the $5 90-player SNG's. I've finished in the top 4 about 5-6 times but never managed to win the darn thing, so I'll shoot for that for next month.

In hopes of keeping myself sane though, I'm going to take some time off. Good thing work starts back up tomorrow so I can preoccupy myself with that.

And on that note, I'm out.
