Running Bad/Insomnia/Bad BR Management/I'm A GOD!

So as of the last time I wrote I was running decently but had missed a few shots for some big money not being able to finish off a couple of big SNGs. So as I fired up Bodog last night I was expecting some big things as I've felt really good about my play lately.

...it was not to be.

I played for about 3 hours and God knows how many SNGs (over 10 because I kept busting...and I like the turbos). The sickest thing was out of all the games that I busted in I only went all in with the worst hand 2 times. I couldn't win a race when it counted and I was watching my BR go down the drain. I take a couple of 3rds at the end of the night and won a few HU SNGs to put my nightly total at only -$20.

At this point it was about 3 AM and I tried to get some sleep...but I just couldn't, since I had no class that day I had slept in until 2 in the afternoon and just wasn't tired. I laid in bed for about 2 hours before turning on the TV around 5:30 and getting a little workout in. I took my sister to school and got some breakfast with her around 7 and then got home more amped than ever...sleeping wasn't going to be an option.

So as I usually do in this situation I drained a Redline and fired up Bodog only to find out that my luck hadn't changed. I bubble a $6 SNG, 2 $15 SNGs, and busted out of the $2.5k guarantee. I got my money in every time as at least a 60/40 favorite (when I was the one all in) and in 2 of the SNGs actually went from chip leader 4 handed to bubble boy. So I was clearly discouraged by the results, but I was feeling realy good about how I was playing. So exercising my usual poor BR management during a downswing I saw a $55/5 Turbo SNG starting up...

...so naturally I couldn't resist.

The tourney started out slow as I expected it would, but there was still a surprising amount of limping and multiway pots in the early levels. I took down a couple of early pots and stole a few blinds and was at 1700 and 10 players still in with the blinds just moving up 50/100. I'm on the button with A10o and a shortie pushes from the CO for 450, I flat call and the BB (to my surprise) calls all-in as well. The CO has A4ss and the BB has 58o (I don't know what to say about this). I flop a 10 and send them both to the rail. I'm at 2500 and cruising.

I'm able to steal a lot of pots and nothing too interesting happens until we're 6 handed with 100/200 blinds and I'm in the SB with AKo. The CO (3k chips) raises to 600, he had been very aggressive so I I'm ahead and push. I have him covered by about 1000, he instantly calls with 55 and obv presto is gold. So I'm on the button next hand and I had gone from chip leader to shortie in one hand. It's folded to me and I push with 97o. The SB calls and the BB folds. The SB shows pockets 10s and I need some help bad. I miracle a straight on a J 8 5 K 6 board to double up (still running bad?).

During 5 handed play I catch a huge card rush and make some timely pushes and take myself up to 5500 chips without a showdown. I knock out the 5th place player when his J10o can't catch my AKo. I raise almost every hand on the bubble (blinds 200/400/25) and eventually knock out the shortie when he had over half his chips in on the BB. I go into 3 handed play with over 9k in chips (15k on the table). First hand ITM and I pick up 77 in the SB and knock out the BB when his A8o couldn't win the race. HU I have a 13.5 to 1.5k lead with the blinds at 300/600/50. I pick up 33 on the button and push and he's forced to call with 34o, my hand holds up and $275 is shipped my way. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!

The Roll = $998.84 (I broke that $900 barrier in a big and donkerrific way).
