I took some time of from poker to partake in enjoying Star Wars Episode III and all the hoopla that comes along with it. I was playing ok before I took a break, but when I came off of the break and started back playing Sit and Go's I discovered something. Either I severely diminished in skills, or everyone on Party Poker $10.00 tables got 1000 times better.
What I started to discover is my strategy of relying on 2 or 3 people going out fairly early would not work anymore, everyone is playing tight there were a lot of tables where we went 4 or 5 levels deep into the blinds and all 10 players were still at the table. I don't really have a problem with this, but it only worsens the problem of "coin flip" hell by the time you get deep into the blind levels. I end up getting every hand raised because of all ins and you can't fold forever, even with a good hand you are bound to get a bad beat.
These latest developments saw my bankroll drop by about 70%, one day I lost about 40% of my bankroll, and I went into a $2/$4 limit hold em cash game and won 120% of it back. I then worked on modifying my strategy in the sit and go's I raised the aggresiveness of my game, and I was seeing some success. But then the bad luck bug hit I was playing on 2 sit and go tables at once and my ISP decided to conduct "maintanence" and they took my line down for 6 hours, so that was money I couldn't get back. So I was highly pissed then, at my job I have 1 day out of the week where I sit in a room and monitor equipment all day, so I usually play poker during that time, but unfortunately while I was currently in 4th place with a decent amount of chips at 2 sit and go tables something decided to break, and I had to abandon the game and hope my avatar could survive till the money well he didn't, that was more money I was out of. So I am a bit pissed but I didn't finish first place in 2 sit and gos yesterday, so maybe things are looking up.
