Not a good night last night. Another flame out in the 180-man $2.20 turbo. my first playable hand occured at the 75-100 level when I push my last $1170 with A-Qo from MP and was called by A-3o. 3 on the flop and that's all she wrote. Again.

Then in cash, same problem. A-Qo, I re-raise against a small stack and he calls along with one other. The flop comes Q high with two hearts so I go all-in. the short stack calls and the medium stack (whom I had covered) gets out of the way. 6 on the river gives the short stack three of a kind.

A little later, this hand happens.

So after that, I played about 20 more hands and quit before I lost the entire $3. Then I did some poker studying. I don't think I'm playing badly, but my results sure do suck. I think I'm going to try one more 180 tonight and if I don't at least cash, I'm done with them for awhile. And also I think I'll stop playing turbo sngs until I can reverse my losses. I'm down about $60 from my peak. The turbos are killers in the variance department, but playing the regular ones take so much longer...
