shoot me now

4 tourneys on full tilt this weekend. took 3rd in 2 of them, bombed out of other 2. Was short in all of them, couldn't win a hand early, didn't get any cards, didn't catch any flops when I raised, got called every time I tried to steal and had to bail. Very frustrating.

In most of them, my desperation all-in at the end was called by someone dominating my hand, so I barely stood a chance to double up. Tonight, I shoved on the button with QJs, big blind (who didn't have much of a stack himself) called with KQo. Done.

My ICM program says my shove was +EV and his call was -EV - not very reassuring when the same thing happens to you three times in one weekend.

sigh.
