Revel in my pain as I try to become a better poker player.

What can you do?

First hand of a $3.50 Fifty/50. Starting with $1500 in chips. I'm dealt AcAh. Folded to me. I just call ($30). Folded to big blind who raises double the big blind ($60). I raise to $290. He calls. Flop is 4, 6, K...all clubs. Not too bad. I've got the nut flush draw even if this guy has two clubs already or 3 of a kind. He bets, I raise, he re-raises, I go all in , he calls. He has 3 kings. No clubs come on the turn or river and in one hand I am out of the tournament.

What can you do?

Played a 2nd game and struggled to the money, but feel good about sticking it out, when it would have been easy to throw in the towel on a few occasions.

Dominated the 3rd game winning my biggest payday at this level yet ($9.56).

And struggled to the money again in the 4th game of the day! Its amazing how you can go from unlucky to struggling to dominant to struggling! What the hell??? But, after all is said and done it was a 3-1 day, so I can't complain too much. Close to breaking $50!
