Clutch: I don't have one

The kind of hand that just leaves you wondering what if... If I win this I'm double the average stack not far off the bubble and in great shape to make a run. Instead I'm down to 20bb and with my usual card-dead ways, run A8 into AA, and A7 into the monster K3 and he turns a king.

Also ran AA into KK in a SNG on the 3rd hand, K on flop obv. A few other annoying bustouts. I've simply given up on waiting for the day where I stop running like garbage consistently, because it seems like it's never going to come. It's amazing I still have a bankroll at all.

Lack of Love

Sorry for not updating. Haven't really been playing poker (~3 weeks now) because I've found other things to occupy my time lately. I'll be back .. eventually. But seeing as I'm picking up a 2nd job, the updates will likely be fewer and farther between than normal. Good luck on the tables. But save some for me.
