March Recap (caution - a bit of a whine)

To put it bluntly, March wasn't good. Pretty much everything went bad 50nl, 25nl, live, online, everything. I have dealt with it pretty well I think. I have been listening to a deuces cracked mp3 series focused on tilt issues which has helped . 30k hands in March for -$600 (down 350 on EV), it hasn't been pretty. My play went a bit loose preflop and passive post which didn't help things, but neither did crap like this:




If I get it in with a good hand I am smashed by the nuts, if I get it in good It won't be that way by the river.




Had a decent winning session today though and I feel like I am getting on top of my game. Pretty sure I should have 25nl crushed again once variance sorts its life out again. Actually got some value for a few big hands and held:



I'm looking forward to getting back on the right foot this month and getting my roll back to its former glory. It would be nice to have something to show for the time I have put into poker this so far. 5 or 6k at the end of the year and something tangible from the FT or Iron man store would do this trick.

I just remembered me and a friend played the daily double on FT on Friday after I got a seat with FT points. Got donked out of the b tourney but hung around in the a for awhile. With the bubble approaching and a dwindling stack I started running down the clock to ensure I got my buy in back. The tourney starts playing hand for hand and I get 7's on the button. I see that the tourney is down to 179 ( 180 pay) and I jam and hope for a lucky double up. Little do I know, placings aren't done by on order of bust out but who had the smallest stack in the hand that busted. Someone else on some other table had a bigger stack so its 181st place for me! Hahaha ultimate bubble boy. I won't make that mistake again so I guess it was a cheap lesson at $15. For what its worth my friend goes on to finish 7th/1216 for 400 odd.
