On the verge of tilt

Been an interesting few days. I seem to have had some really bad luck so far this week. I seem to be losing more than my fair share of the 50/50's and 60/40's and don't seem to be getting the cards at the right time. I have had a few bubbles again and its been frustrating. I have gone on tilt a couple of times and played the turbo games which I never do well in. I need to cut this out of my play so Im annoyed at myself. I havent played so well in the coolers as well, I have been getting involved with hands I should just stay away from.

Even with this bad luck I managed to grind my way above €110 which meant I could play €5 games but I dropped back down after another run of bad luck. I have played 4 of these added cash tourneys now, 2 were FPP buy ins and the other 2 were €5+0.50 buy ins. The first 3 I bubbled which was so frustrating again! The most recent one 1st prize was over €100 and I was chip leader for a while but when the blinds got big I just didnt get the cards or the flops and was gutted to bubble.

But then today my fortune changed and I entered the Heads Up game. This had only 12 runners and I got a bye in the first round. So I only needed to win one match to cash. It was very tight early on but when the blinds went up a bit more play came in to it. I had A8 and they raised pre flop, so I called. I hit middle pair and they made a bet on the flop. It was all in or fold really and I put them on a continuation bet so decided to re-raise all in. They had top pair but another 8 on the turn put me through. I hate winning like this but it made a change to get some luck. I then won the next round pretty quick with KK v JJ. I was just edging it in the final when I had A 3 and hit the A2345 straight on the turn. They pushed all in so was very happy and with no flushes out there I thought I had won, but they had a 36 to hit a 23456 straight. Gutted!

But 2nd place got me €51.25 which I was more than happy with and has got me off tilt and kick started me again. I can now play €5 games again which is nice so lets see what the standard is like here and if I can get close to €200 by the end of the month.

Current balance: €141.36
