Raise'n Fold... just a little bit

Played two tournaments tonight - the nightly $15+1 and the $20+2 $30k guaranteed. Finished pretty poorly in both - made a very bad semi-bluff play too early in the $15+1 and got picked off. In the $20+2, crippled myself early misplaying trips versus a straight - did NOT read the straight as he was very passive (not tricky, just passive) and put more money in the pot than I should have on the river when my trip card hit. He caught his straight on the turn but didn't seem to like it, and check-called when the board paired the river (scared of the flush or bigger straight i guess, or just overly passive).

Played a decent amount of $50 NLHE Friday, Sunday + today. Poker tracker reports a downswing of -6.5BB/Hr for the three days, with only one major winning session (27.21 BB/Hr over +2 hours). I feel like i've been playing decent cards. My rating using these rules is still sLAA. But i've taken some good knocks. Sunday + Today i'm +5 BB/Hr combined, so it was mostly taking some big knocks on Friday and not being able to make them up in the short term. Such is poker...
