Right after a very nice week comes an ugly week. My record in the $500 SNG's has been dismal. Amazingly for the entire week I didn't finish worse than 7th. That could tell me that I am playing too tight early (though I don't think I'm doing anything different), not catching any cards early, not catching any cards at bubble time or getting unlucky at bubble time. It's likely a combination of all of those factors, plus I am probably not playing aggressive enough. The play has continued to be downright terrible, which is what is the most frustrating about it.

For this week, I think I need to focus on the $200 SNG's to get my confidence (and bankroll) boosted. I probably won't get a lot of play in this weekend. I just need to get in enough time to earn the week 5 bonus, as the end bonus is adding up (should be around 2K at the end).
