Revenge of the Luck

I had previously been runnig pretty hot at NL $200....I was up about $1700 and almost $600 in all in luck. I fully expected it to swing the other way at some point, and that point was yesterday....craaaaaazy. Kept getting it in best and losing time after time. I eventually tilted a bit away too to end up down almost $500 before rakeback. I'm still kinda proud of that, considering my EV for the session was about $600....means at least I was playing well despite the luck, can't ask for more than that I guess.

However, I'm making the right plays, and as I'm significantly overrolled for NL $200, I'm in fine shape to keep on doing what I've been doing, kicking ass and taking money :D So I played about 450 hands today while on the road and it seems like things are back to normal...+$180 in under 2 hours, much more like it. I should analyze yesterdays play some more however...i know I made some bad plays, to the tune of $150 or so, but maybe I'm playing sub-optimally as well with hand selection/agression. Something that's worth looking into.

Tourney-wise, I cashed all my ironman medals for $26 tokens for a whopping 4 (hey, only been playing cash at FT for 2 months now and I allready cashed one :P). The idea behind this is that while concentrating on only one tourney at a time like I'm supposed to is boring as hell to me, I can play an 18 person SNG while I work out on the bike/elliptical; the field doesn't seem too tough (taken down 2/2 so far); now all I have to do is figure out the best spot to get my $75 token in. I could go for another 750k entry, but I barely made it past half the field, and I'm thinking it would be better if I got some experience in cheaper before I head back. My current line of thinking is I'll just focus on making $26 into $75, hoard the tokens and then spend one week on the road playing $75 token SNGs for cash. I've always done pretty well at SNGs (actually subsidized my unemployment with them spring of '07), so this is probably the best place to get my money in. For experience, I'll try running some $5 deepstack tourneys in between weekend cash sessions. I need to make sure I'm putting enough time into the business too though....for now, that time is gonna have to come out of my poker time :( But who knows...if things keep going this well, I'll be able to quit the job in a few months and run the business/poker pro it :D
