Took down my biggest online score today, the Cake $12.5 guarantee $20rebuy tournament, for $2900. Nice bankroll boost and changing the tide of my bad run.

I played 2 donkaments in New Orleans, both Friday. I played Circuit Event # 1, a $500 event, and a $300 "second chance tourney." Neither tournament was very eventful and I never really was in a spot I liked. In both tournaments I ended up short stacks and shoving wide which eventually resulted in being knocked out by a better hand.

The real story comes from playing cash game on Saturday night. I was playing 2/5 NL with a whole crew of locals and a few good players. After about 2 hours of play I was down to about $250. I called a $20 raise with 77 from the BB along with 4 other callers. Flop comes K67 with 2 hearts. I check, someone bets $100, 3 call, and I shove my remaining $230 in. I get 2 callers who both cover me by about $200. So the main pot is about $900. The turn is the 6 giving me a full house and completing a flush. The other 2 players shove/call the turn. One tables A6 and the other KJ. River - K.

I go back to my hotel busto and ready to get the heck out of New Orleans. Nothing like putting your chips in with 98% equity and losing.

April was a great month for me, I finished up about $3k and finished 185th on the Stars TLB (got a fat $50 bonus from Stars).

The first week of May has been horrendous. Lost almost $1k of my April winnings right off the bat. It's part running bad and part making bad (dumb) plays. I'll get to play lots of live poker in New Orleans this weekend, and hopefully play and run better.
