Starting to feel the pains...

Just over 27 hours into the marathon, I am really starting to feel the pains of no sleep (not to mention the coffee is just running thru now :) ). I am obviously not where I wanted to be at the end of this. I am at 163% ROI for this session. I have a few really nice wins. Along with some really ugly beat downs. Easy come, easy go right...
I am stuck in a tournament right now. After this is over I will be calling it a night. This tourney has about another 2 hours left in it (if I make ft).

And the roller coaster continues...

Up and down, round and round here we go again.
There are some crazy ass people out today. I find it funny how folks get locked into a hand. They can't seem to see the sky for all the clouds.
I ran across a hand I got involved in. I get dealt QQ from the cut-off. The nice fellow from UTG had min-raised (with a caller directly behind him). A fellow in mid position made it another 6x to go (total of 8x to call). I flatted, the guy in mid position has been playing a nit, and had a feeling i was behind. I wanted to see how the hand played out, maybe go for a steal on turn. The guy from UTG flats, the guy in UTG+1 min raises the reraise. Red flags really go off at this point. Middle position shoves and gets 2 callers (I fold obviously). They turn over UTG J7s, UTG+1 QQ, and middle position AA. I would have ended up hitting the river for a 4 card flush (still a very good fold though). UTG got a nice little note. He was willing to dump $108 into the pot with that hand. I can understand the AA. I felt the really blinded one was the UTG+1 guy. The way the hand played it was obvious the mid position fellow had AA or KK.

6 hours in so far....

A few hours in I am having mixed results. I have been playing a mix of games (cash, sng and mtt). I am clearing a profit so far in this session.
I started out in the micro level to get the feel back. I did horrible at those levels. As soon as I stepped a little it started running better for me. I am playing the $20 buy-ins now. I am hoping the roller coaster that I have been on levels out.

On a mission...

After missing a little over a week of play, I am on a mission. I need to recoup my losses (computer parts aren't free). I am going to start small in the buy-in department to knock off the dust. After I am comfortable my mind is still functioning, I am going to go on a marathon session. This should be fun. I haven't done a long session in a couple months.

I'm back...

It is nice to have a computer that is not malfunctioning. I had a few problems with the old system that I was not initially aware of. I ended up having a bunch of data loss on top of it all. Not exactly a good turn of events, but it's time to move up and on............
