bad run continues....

727 Rush hands, played ok. Made one borderline call when I rivered a set of queens on a 4 straight board - thought he could have had 2 pair and I caught up, but no, he had the straight.

The rest of it was bad luck - my all ins were aces cracked by a set, and KK vs. AQs all in preflop, he hit his ace. Down another $40 tonight, and $120 on the month, with my allin luck running about -249 big blinds this month. The 249 blinds don't bring me up to even, but there are sooo many more types of luck than all-in luck. Short runs of failing to steal blinds or cbets not working can drain you - call raises to setmining and never hitting can drain you - flopping a monster full house when none of your opponents have anything to pay you off keeps you from that double up that you need to make up for getting your aces cracked.

Gotta keep the head up - I've made a couple bad plays but I think I'm playing fine overall. Maybe I'll skip the rush poker for a bit and concentrate on finding some fish on the normal ring tables...

Misery loves company, right? 650 hands and down 2.5 buy-ins. Kings against Aces twice, set over set once, and a host of lesser crimes.
