Ever listen to someone talk about how bad they're running and immediately you think they're doing something wrong cause it's not possible for that to happen?

Recently Viscant was talking about how he lost with 22 sets of 25 to bigger sets or flushes. I found it a little hard to believe until the same exact thing is happening to me right now! :( Flop a set, lose to a bigger set. Get QQ or KK run into AA every time. I literally got AA one time in the last 5000 hands.

Strangely this is only happening in cash games, in fact in one tournament yesterday I got AA 3 times in the span of 5 hands!

I'm going to drop back down to 3/6 for a little and ride this out, maybe there is something in my game that I'm messing up and I'm just not seeing it.

With the bowl season and NFL playoffs here I seem to have caught the sports betting bug. I've been flat betting $100 on games (Except for one bet that was $200) and so far results have been good (6-1, and 4-0 last week in NFL Playoffs)

Here's the bets I made:

INSIGHT BOWL - ASU - 10.5 over Rutgers
Result: LOSS $100

12/27 Nets (-2) over Cavaliers
Result: WON 90.91

12/27 Kings (+10) over Clippers
Result: WON $191.82

1/7 New England (-7.5) over Jags
Result: WON 92.80

1/7 Redskins (+3) over Bucs
Result: WON 94.75

1/8 Carolina (+3) over Giants
Result: WON 97.65

1/8 Pittsburgh (-3) over Bengals
Result: WON 91.50

Net Result: +559.43

Not bad.

Here's my picks for next week:

Pittsburgh (+9.5) over Colts
Redskins (+9) over Seahawks
New England (+1.5) over Denver
Bears (-3) over Carolina

One I might switch on is the Redskins/Seahawks, but other three don't think anything will change my mind on them.

Which isn't bad for 2 weeks of work. I really whored the shit out of the Boss media sites playing low limit 5 card draw. Nights still young though - hoping to finish off UKBetting, William Hill, and TotalBet tonight which will add approx $150 more in bonuses. I also did some SportsBetting (Good) here's the results:

Bodog (Sports Betting):
Bonus: $100
Profits: $175
Net: $275

I'm pretty proud that I only finished one site down a little (PokerRewards) and that happened at the last 200 hands. Ever have one of those nemesis - no matter what hand you have they beat you everyone? I ran into one of those people cracking my sets with 42 suited, 49 OS etc. Dropped approx 300 to one person in the span of 20 hands, pretty sick but what can you do.

I think it woulda been more but I wasted an entire day (Monday) playing in Atlantic City. Whatever I won from Poker there I put it all on the number 12 on roulette and 27 came out oh well haha

2 more weeks til my girlfriend comes back, hoping to finish up my MartinsPoker bonus (1000 euros for 3000 raked hands - need 200 more), the monthly bonuses, PokerFantasy ($100+sont psp) and maybe one or two big ones then I'm pretty much done with whoring unless she lets me play or we break up
