I'm never complaining about beats ever again

I've never run so hot in my life. I'm playing my absolute best but variance is definately on my side right now. Every play is working, every card is hitting, and every read is spot on. I've had a sick amount of cashes since getting back home.

Last Thursday I took 2nd in the Party Super for about 19k+. I had him in with 99 vs 22 but he flopped a 2. Later on I got it all in preflop with AK and he had KK. I'm still happy about the way I played the whole tournament.

I made a FT in a 50 MTT on Party but finished like 8th or something.

On Sunday I played in all the big tournaments and went deep in Stars and UB. In UB i got to like 17 people left and shoved in with A7 with about 13 BBs. I really shouldnt have and think I could have made the FT and cashed big if I had let it go. I was called by TT and the board bricked out. In Stars I played my absolute A game and went out about 16th of like 5500 people which is a good finish but I wanted to final table it so bad. I was in a race with AK vs TT at the end and winning in would have tied me with the chip leader but I wasnt lucky enough in that hand. With 165k for first place, 5k doesnt really seem like a win to me.

Today, I played in a few multis and took down a $22 speed MTT on party for about 2k. I went out 5th in UB's 20k guaranteed for about 1500 and I pretty much bubbled the money in the Party Super. Like 175th with 150 getting paid. Those fields are always huge so its hard to do consistently well in them.

I went semi far in the Stars $150 but went out on a marginal hand. We started with about 620 people and with about 130 left, it folded to the button. Blinds at 150/300 he raised to 900 and I moved in from the SB with AJ for about 4-5k. He had AQ and it held up.

I plan on taking a break in the next few days to get away from the game for a bit. I'm going to Turning Stone next week for their tournaments and I wanna be kinda fresh when I start on Monday.
