Horrendous coolers all around…
I am on the WORST run in my entire poker history these past few days.. I can’t win with any strong hand, hit 0 flops, just coolers all over. Routinely run AK/KK into AA and so forth. Just busted out of a lowly $5r+r (lower stakes entry to book a cheapo win and boost confidence) when I shoved 16BB from SB with my AKs against 12398471239847 limpers. Got a caller and he busted me. LoLz. I swear when this horrible luck turns around they better watch out!
In mean time, grinding at SNGs with mixed results. Same story. Playing great but not really showing any huge profits this week. I’ve acquired the SNG Wizard program to help me iron out any holes in my game.. This is a great tool by the way as it allows you to evaluate your SNG game based on a perfect mathematical ICM model. I would often review my completed SNG hand histories against it to verify if mistakes had been made in my play etc. It also has this quiz feature where it generates various poker scenarios and evaluates your feedback. Scored perfect 30/30 on a quiz today, feeling tremendously good.
Now just to get my shitty luck out of the way…

Sounds like you’re a really smart poker player based on your blog and what I’ve read. Try not to let the coolers and suckouts get to you even though thats really hard at times. Variance can be really demoralizing at times, but successful players will prevail over the long run. Keep your head up!!
