Bloomfield tournament + Borgata

So today i woke up at 3pm after sleeping for close to 13 hours. Felt like shit and couldn't get out of bed. Finally got up and played some $10 hu SNG's since i won $300 from playing James heads up on Absolute Poker, if you can call it playing. He was just shoving all-in regardless of his hand so after winning like 7/10 coinflips I had a working online bankroll. It would be nice to build it up and i'm gonna try out different approaches now even if it might take longer. we'll see....anyway after i played online for a couple hours i went to the bloomfield tourny with Steve since he decided to put me in it in exchange for 60% of profits. I told myself I'd never play in this tournament again since its an ultra turbo but i had nothing to lose. Good thing i did it cause i ended up chopping with another guy for 1st for $1150. Tipped the dealers $50 total and after make up made about $390. Obviously 1k would've been so much sweeter since i could actually go on a run with that but i'll have to make something happen with this.

I went to Borgata 2 nights ago with $420 after I had lost $260 the previous night at bloomfield. I played 1/2 from 7pm til about 1:30 in the morning. I was in for $300 and couldn't get anything going the whole time. Deck was extremely cold and finally at the end when i got to even and was about to leave the following hand comes up. New player posts $2. We're playing 6 or 7 handed, 2 ppl fold to me i make it $8 to go. 3 of us to the flop including the new player. Flop comes A Q 2, 2 diamonds. I bet out $20 and one guy folded and the new player insta calls leaving himself with $80. Turn bring a black 6 and i decided he was on a flush draw based on the way he called so i bet out a stack of $100 to put him all in. He thought for a while and at first i thought maybe i was beat since he was actually thinking about calling. Finally he calls and I go, good call A is good.....river Jd he flips over T4d..i was sick to my stomach. A then go on to lose another hand with JJ to A7 after running hearts come on the turn and river and he shows Ah against my Jh with Kh and Qh out there. I decided i'd go jump in a 2/5 game and dump the rest of my $125. After folding a couple of hands i steal a limped pot preflop in the BB after raising to $50 and announcing that i had to steal it. Everyone thought i was kidding apparently and quickly folded around so i showed Q5 o/s. then i had AQ suited and stole another pot preflop bringing me up to $180ish. Then the very next hand i pick up JJ and make it $40 to go. Folds around to the sb who makes it $100 and clearly was fed up with my antics. I shoved and he called with 89h. flop 8 high with 2 hearts, turn black A river 9 giving him 2 pair. That left me with $120 and i decided it was time to go back home.

I have to work this week thurs.-sat. at CVS which I know is going to kill me. I'm usually too tired afterwards to really play a long session. I guess i just gotta bite the bullet for now and get through it. I'm sure i'll feel better once i see the check. Still though, the only light at the end of the tunnel for me is knowing that soon enough i will get a solid enough roll to play 2-5nl without going broke. I know that 10 buy-ins is definitely enough. Until then I just gotta scrape together any wins I can to cover my expenses and pay back what i owe. Atleast i'm getting some kind of experience from all of this. I guess you can only connect the dots looking back.

Tomorrow i'll probably play online during the day and go to Bloomfield at night and take a shot at the cash game there.
