I am continuing to struggle, particularly in the $5 SNGs. I thought I was going to have some time to play yesterday, but ended up going to the in-laws. On the bright side, I was able to come home and watch my brother make a deep run in the Sunday Million on PS. Bankroll shifter right there - and awesome considering he satellited in for the min.
HU PLO despite my results, is not going that badly. I think I'm down only a little there recently, and I was able to make a massive chip comeback in one game. The problem is that after I get blistered out of the $5 SNGs, I don't really want to play, but feel a need to chase the losses by playing HU PLO. It's such a streaky thing though - you never know when you're going to rip off 6-straight wins.
I will continue to grind the $5 SNGs. Funny thing is that after my post a few days ago, it seems as if the 1000 milestone on sharkscope is almost like some artificial cap on my graph.
I did manage to get cash in the $1 turbo yesterday. The late stages of that tourney are so ridiculous - shove, shove, shove. Things become so automatic. I was able to suckout early on, and then lost a flip with 55 to QT to bust out. I had it until the river of course.
No baby. And it doesn't even look like we're close. I hope it's not too much longer. I was already planning on changing diapers and all that by now. She'll get here soon tho.

Things not going well
It was bound to happen, but in the last few SNGs have not gone well. Low stacked and 3 handed, I pushed A4hh into the chipleader. He made a tough call with KK.
Next game VERY early on, I raised in EP with AK, got RRAI from the BB. I figure the RRAI at that point is from a weak hand, and called for basically all my chips. He had 88 and I couldn't hit. I ended up going out with JT on a T high board to the same guy who had raised pre with QQ.
Next game, UTG was crippled pretty had the previous hand, and moves all in with about 600 chips with A5, I call in the BB with JJ, I lose. No prob, I still have chips though. Then promptly lose them all about 10 hands later when my AA cannot beat 77.

As I predicted
I played like shit tonight. Started off well enough with a second place finish, where I was about 5-1 chip underdog. I had 72 I think and flop came 557. We moved it and he had K5. Then lost a $5 SNG. Then lost another one where in about 30 seconds I went from the shortstack, to chipleader, to out on the bubble. Tiiiiiiiilt.
Then won 3 HU PLO games to salvage a frustrating breakeven night.
Made it through the first hour of the $1 Turbo, only to get my money in when my A3 was dominated by A9.
The wife is now done working. She went out for a while with some work friends last night. I imagine that today will probably be my last real work day for quite some time also. It is 8/8, which is father's day in some Asian countries. I hear lots of people are getting c-sections so that their kids can be born on this day. I don't think we're that into it. My stance is, she'll come when she's ready. Tomorrow would be nice though.
The olympics start today. I couldn't care less.
