The ups and downs
Thanks guys for the comments. The variance just kills me sometimes. Especially when I'm crushing $25 NL and I can't seem to get above water at $50NL.
My Full Tilt bankroll hit a low of $340 but I'm back up to around $575 now. It should be even more but of course I lost a huge pot with a straight to a rivered full house. Board Q9983. I have TJ and bet the flop and turn against someone who called out of the small blind. Said person was a loose passive who only bet pot or shoved river, no in between. Earlier saw this person overbet shove river with 82o on a 52JAK board only to get called by AJ. So here is the hand history fun:

Seat 6: olibof (big blind) folded before the Flop
So sick. I was down $130 in this thanksgiving session but managed to get 80 of it back thankfully.
Anyway, on the other side I've been doing really well in tournaments lately. I've finished first and second in the last two weekly chiptalk tourneys plus a 3rd place finish in the HORSE monday night tourney of champions.
Last night I went deep in the $11 rebuy on stars and finished 40th for $192 (Net 160 after one rebuy and the add on). So annoying though to play 5 hours and then get knocked out with AQ vs KQ with all the money going in preflop and the board comes 288KT :( One of these days I'll get that big tourney win dammit.
That's about it for now. Good luck at the tables
