Trials and Tribulations of an Internet Grinder

It seems as though everytime I start to get positive about this game and everything seems to be running smoothly some unknown powers strike down and punish me for enjoying life too much. So today i lost $500 and was palying the best poker of my life, I can't even mention some of the beats cause I might throw up, but it was bad. The good news is that I have discovered that the $55 SnGs are filled to capacity with stupid, fishy donks. Did I mention that I love stupid, fishy donks. It is only the 3rd day of the week and I am still up $620 but it is so frustratng that I cannot pull together a solid winning week. I have talked to guys that say that have 5 losing days a month and I always seem to have 12-15 losing days a month. What makes it worse is that there is no way around most of my bustouts, I can;t fold AA/KK preflop even if I "know" that my opponent is going to hit their 2 outer. I guess that is why I called this blog 2 outer, it is a big problem in my poker life. I still hope to clear $1,500 more between now and Haloween putting me at +$2,000 in SnGs for the month, after starting off on the worst downswing of my life. Looking ahead to November, I am going to devote my time to playing $55's only and will play about 1000 of them. i should have rakeback set up again by then and need to clear $5,000 including rakeback. New longterm goals are: $12,000 bankroll by Christmas and $25,000 by my birthday on April 14th. Also between now and next summer I need to get $17,000 together for a new car purchase, I really want to get a 2001 Lexus GS300 and poker might make that possible. Holler.
