Set over Set is killing me!

I have been running extremely bad as of late, especially on UB. It seems UB has turned on the doom switch for my account. I am continuously getting coolered left and right with set over set beats. Believe me, I can handle the beats. I have been playing micro stakes poker for almost 3 years now and have every type of beat at my level of play. It can be truly sick. But lately I have been getting crushed by top set. I haven't seen it like this before. I must be on a huge variance downswing. I am going to take a couple of days off and get my head straight. I take pride in being almost untiltable, but lately, my patience is wearing thin. I am going to take a step back and breath a little before jumping back into the micro mtt grind.

I am planning on heading out to the casino this Saturday for a day of low buy in donkaments and 1/2 ring game. Hopefully my live game fares a lot better than me online game.

Ship.

AP and UB $1500 Guarantees

I was only able to play 2 tournaments last night: the AP and UB $1500 guaranteed. I played very well in the UB tournament but lost a key race that would have put me about 4th/5th in chips with 18 left. I came over the top of an early position standard raise by one of the tourney chip leaders. I shoved with AcQc and he tanked a bit before calling off about 1/2 his stack with 99. The flop pretty much sealed my fate when he hit another 9 and I missed any possible redraws; essentially drawing dead on the turn. I finished 18th.

In the AP tournament, being card dead and having 2 solid players at my table for the first 2 hours made it very difficult to move up the ladder. I was able to maintain an above average chip stack for the majority of my time in the tourney but ended up losing a flip with AK vs 66 and ended up finishing somewhere in the 60s.

Hardly Played this Weekend

Well, as usual I had planned on playing a ton of mtts and make a ton of final tables, haha. I hardly played at all. The online poker highlight of my weekend was shipping 2 multi-table sngs Saturday morning: $2 3-table and $5 5-table. Otherwise I only played the AP $1500 last night but was too tired to care how well I did. I think I went out somewhere in the 50s when it paid to 45th place.

The wife has class tonight and me and the kid will be home alone till late. So that means multiple low limit donkaments tonight! I'm due for a final table. I am excited to see if I can make more than 1 in the same night for the first time.

Wish me luck!
