My return to poker triggers my inevitable return to bad beats

Well I only deposited $55 into Pokerstars. This gives me 5 buy-ins to the $10+1 sngs. Obviously this is poor bankroll management, but as I said in my last post, I'm looking to go on a heater to start building up. If I fail this time, I'll just try $55 more next week. So anyway, the sngs were horrible. I somehow got a donk to donate his whole stack to me early in one when this happened.......

..... but other than that, it was horrible. Here begins the whining!!

sng #1 - 7th

I end up in the small blind in about the third level with QQ... The button raises and we eventually get it all in on a flop of J 7 7... He has KK.. Pretty much a cooler in that position.

sng #2 - 7th

Folds around to sb who raises about 3X bb... I'm in bb with QQ... I push for about 8 or 9X more his raise. He instacalls with AJ... pretty flop... Ace turn.

sng #3 - 5th

We get it allin preflop... Me 1010 him AJ... X X X X A... but we all know I don't win flips :).. It just has to come on the river.

sng #4 - 5th

I get short-stacked late with about 1000 chips with blind levels at 100/200. It's 5-handed and I get KJ in the cut-off so obv I push, called by 66... flop 5 5 6.

sng #5 - 3rd

I'm in complete dominating, pwning, crushing, destroying, demolition, etc. etc. etc. mode 4-handed with about half the chips, and carry about the same lead into 3-handed play. I get AA in the bb and the button mini-raises to 400. I make it 1000 and he calls. Flop 2 2 4 rainbow, I check cause its a beauty and hes a donkey. He bets just 200 lol. I raise to 1000 he calls. Turn 10, I put him in for about 1200, he calls with 99. River 9. I'm still in decent shape though. I'm committed to call an allin for about 2500 with A7dd vs KJ... K turn obv. I go dead with blinds at 200/400 and have to push on button with 109dd, called by Q10. I lose.

So the moral of the story is... I'm giving up poker for good......

















Yeah right whatever. I'm gonna keep tryin till I catch my heater. Honestly, the players I saw today were so bad, I don't need a heater. I just need average luck... just average luck. Not good luck, not decent luck, just like to win every now and then when I'm ahead. Just like 1 or 2 times, thats all, and I will TPMM. JK anyways, I'm rambling and its time to go to a Halloween party so peace out.......
