Poker - start of 2014

I've hardly played....honest.

I've been to Vegas 3 times so far this year and been once a week to my local card room (Oceans 11). I was doing pretty good in cash games but then decided to enter tournaments again.

I won a daily Aria tourney (5 way chip chop) with 100+ players so that was ok.

Since then my form has been terrible, losing money in my last 3 or 4 sessions. The last session I must have got my stack in good at least 5 times against 1 or 2 opponents either pre-flop or on the flop and they caught up or sucked out. I lost with aces twice, kings and queens. I lost with a set twice (on a dry board). People paid the full price to chase their draws and they hit. Even the one pair chasing a set hit. It was brutal.

Still, I played ok - the results were just bad. I want bad players to make bad calls and give me their money so I am not complaining.
