I follow the great comeback performance of week 1 with two stinkers the last two weeksin the league.  Week 2, I kept on making 2nd best early (but was laying hands down and costing me chips) and then was knocked out in the 2nd hr when I flopped trip aces, got it all in, and was outkicked.  Thats just how it goes sometimes.  I went into week 3 with the intent of playing small ball and a conservative approach.  5th level, the first big pot I play, I get it all in on the turn for 80% of my chips with the 2nd nut flush, get called by a guy who had the naked ace and of course he gets there on the river.  I exited the tourney shortly thereafter.  I swear I never run well in the league. 

Other than the league, I've done pretty well over the last couple of weeks.  I didn't do so hot in A-5 triple draw but I won back my losses and then some the following week playing mix games.  Last night was the monthly ultimate mix tournament which I took 1st in, making it 5 for 5 cashing in that tournament.  Its really a testament of how far my mix game has come along the last year.  I used to shy away from nonholdem games but now I find those games more enjoyable to play and pretty profitable within this group. 

My main focus right now is improving my performance in the league.  Whatever my approach is, its not working and I need to find out what it is and why.  I think the majority of the players there don't understand the complexity of the game.  I really think I just need to play ABC poker and I'm overthinking.  We'll see how this week goes.

Wish me luck, I'll need it.
