Better run today...

I was gone over the weekend and didnt play much but i dropped 2.5 buyins right before i left. I also dropped 2.5 buyins last night on stars and was really running horrible...today i only had a half day of school due to exams and decided to play some tournies and cash mixed. I opened up 4 $100nl to start and played there for about an hour and a half. I ran alright and worked up about a buyin. I then decided to play in the 20HU tourney on stars and got a bye the first round and played an awful guy in the second round. He ended up calling out one of my few bluffs on a KQJTx board with K5...i played a 20$ hu on ub and won that...i then played a 20$ turbo 10 seat SNG on ub and ended up getting donked of that in 3rd...around 330 a friend asked if i wanted to throw a 5$ LL bet on the ub 2k gntd 20$ at 3:30 so i signed up...i played very tight and had about 3k at the 75/150 level and from there ran very well...i ended up coming to the FT with the CL and soon after had 2:1 over anyone else with about 8 left...i lost a few big hands and was back down around everyone else when this hand came up:

6 players, blinds 800/1600, i have 27k

2 Folds
Hero(27k) raises to 4600 w/ AhJc
1 Fold
Villian(24k) calls 4600
BB Folds

Flop: Jh8h3c
Villian Checks
Hero bet 6900
Villian RR all in for 12,500 more
Hero Calls
Villian shows KsQc

Turn: 5s
River: Kc

This all but ended my run and i went out in 6th place for 132$. This was really disappointing because i knew the players at the FT were horrible and i would have a legitimate shot at winning with the stack i had built...i made a few questionable calls i.e. short stack pushes 10bbs from button and i call with 77 for about 1/5 of my stack from the SB....

I ran well tonight on UB also and managed to win 3.5 buyins...

Hand #1:http://www.pokerhand.org/?760511
-This hand is from last night and pretty much ruined my session...i have a note on the guy that says "cant fold overpair" because he sucked out on my flopped set once before when we got all in on the flop and he turned his 2 outer...

Hand #2:http://www.pokerhand.org/?760514
-This player is 28/20 over 350 hands. When he lead into me on the flop i really felt like he had 55 or a flush draw. The turned K was a good card if he was on the FD and i still felt like a call was the right play and i would reevaluate his river bet. When he bet 30$ i really felt like he missed his flush or perhaps J10. 30$ just seemed like too much if he had 55 because he vbets his strong hands quite a lot...i really felt like a made a good call here...

(Note: I transferred 100$ to a friend on PS and he sent it to me on UB)
Goal: $25,000
PS:$4,783.87
UB: $3,437.79
--------------
Total:$8,221.66
Change: +147.30
Distance to Goal:$16,783.34
