I started off pretty hot in June and it was looking like I should easily make $750 – $1000 playing mostly $50+$5 and some $30+$3 – 9 Player SNGs on FTP as long as I didn’t run into any disasters. The following two hands weren’t necessarily a disaster, but this was the last table I played for the night and the next day I started on a ~$600 downswing. This is a pretty good indication of the kind of beats I took over the next 10 or so days…
I had been playing well all night and the cards were finding me at mostly the right times. I was down to heads-up on my last table of the night and had a better than 2-1 chip lead. When I picked up AA in the BB and my opponent pushed I started looking forward to a perfect end to my night. Here’s how it all went down…

Believe it or not, I wasn’t even mad. I looked at my buddy and we both laughed and said, “No fucking way that just happened!” I turned off my computer and took the dogs out before going to bed. As I fell asleep I was thinking, “85% my ass!”
