Turnaround

Amazing what a difference a week makes. Ever since I've gotten back to SF I've been running super hot on FTP and have racked up over $400. I almost have my account up to $4000, which I've set as my next goal.

The heads up Omaha/8 tournaments have treated me really well as I've won something like 24 of my last 31. The competition seems really soft and I'm not taking sick beats every game like I was when I was in San Diego. I think my game has also improved since I was on that losing streak. I'm being more aggressive and not living in fear of getting sucked out on or check raised. It's amazing how you can run bad for a while and that totally changes elements of your game. For a while there I was afraid to bet with anything but the nuts because I was so sure I was beat or would get beat by the river.

I've also stopped playing late at night as for some reason it seems like the games are tougher at 1 AM in the morning than at other times. Afternoon and evening are good times to play, or least it seems that way lately.

Tonight I played a $24+$2 Stud/8 tournament and finished 10th out of 101 players for a pay out of $48.48. I've only played a couple of $10 stud/8 mtt's before so I was happy finishing in tenth. Very happy with how I played and just got really card dead at the end.
