One dollarments

Last night I fired up a $1 MTT. I knew it would be crazy so I decided to sit back and wait for hands. Unfortunately they didn't really come. Over the first two hours I played 4 hands and doubled up on each of them. I did a small amount of blind stealing as well though. 527 players started and when the bubble broke I was around 20/50. This is the hand that sealed my fate. I cannot believe the guy called my all-in bet. What exactly is he beating but a stone cold bluff? I had a good reputation at the table and had not had to show any crap hands. I tried an early position blind steal with the QJ as other players had been getting away with them. I didn't intend to then make a play for the pot with a check raise but the opportunity arose. I know it is only a $1 game, but when you get so deep, the standard has to be fairly reasonable, right?

To top it off, when I went out, he called me a mother f**ker.

For 2.5 hours play I made $1.10 profit. Fan flipping tastic.

Another recent low profit per hour game I played was a live game at Gala Casino. In a £10 second chance I came 6/48 for a £20 profit. That works out at £4.50 an hour. Not even minimum wage. I was pleased to cash though as I have failed to do so there aside from a satellite I played. I know I am good enough to have better results, they just havent seem to have come.
