Played nothing but the $11 non turbo HUs on Tilt tonight. Played about 30 games and dropped 5 BIs. I was probably lucky to only lose 5. I ran worse tonight than I have probably during this downswing. People were raising and calling 3 bets with hands like Q7o v.s my AQ and I flop Q7x and go broke. I mean in a 3 bet pot top pair is usually a monster. What can I do when I keep getting outflopped by hands like that. Players were calling pot bets on the flop and pot sized bets all in on the turn with weak FD and OESD and almost all of them rivered me. I missed most of my semi bluff all ins on the flop or turn and rarely was I against strong hands. People were calling my shoves with 2nd and 3rd pair and no over cards or decent kickers.
I'm really frustrated and burnt out. I can't see me playing on Tilt again tomorrow. I've got like $100 on Stars I may try the $5s and $10s tomorrow and see what happens. I got offered my backing deal I had late last year. I'm very tempted to take it with how bad I'm running but unless I run extremely hot during the 1st week or two I'm in the same boat I'm in now and trying to get a job. Taking the stake is definitely an +EV move long term but the problem is I really need some kind of income coming in now and MTTs are hit or miss especially since I've got quite a bit of makeup with him too.
So honestly I have no idea what to do. I'm really tired of blogging every day the last 2 weeks about this down swing though. I'm tempted to try either 6 man or 9 man SNGs on Stars like I did in the old days.
