I guess I am cursed... again, I find myself at the top of the leaderboard in chips with less than 10 tables left.

I had my black kings cracked this morning by a flopped set of 5s on the second hand of the tournament.

Until I stop getting so goddammed unlucky, I will never make the big money.

Just once... that's all I want...


****** UPDATE ******

I played pretty solid for the next 2 hours... I picked my spots and won every time I pushed... of course, except the last time:

Everytime I lost a pot when I was all-in preflop, I was the favorite. On this hand, I was a 2-1 favorite preflop. Of course, on the flop I went to a 3-1 dog but on the turn had a shot as I went to a 2-1 dog with any spade, any ace or any king (14 outs) saving me. But of course, I am never the one to spike the winner on the river, so IGHN. GG donkeys.
