So April is a polarized month for me. Cash has been going great, while tournaments outright sucked.
So while cash has been great, tournament gods have been laughing their asses off at my expense. I haven't cashed in almost 30 tourneys now. Normally, I cash about one time in 4.5... Bubbled out of $530 SCOOP 14 short of money when I shoved OTB and ran into AA. Bubbled out of the $1050 Main Event with respectable stack running KK into AA. Those are the highlights. Here is my bubble hand from today's daiy 80k, busting 10 short of the money:
