Chris Ferguson Challenge Update: Losing My Stack

Well I have had a difficult run lately. As it stands right now, I have gone from a high of about $27, down to about $20. What I have discovered is that the ratio of tight play to loose play at such a low limit (still playing $.02/$.05) is about 50-50. Being that I am constantly starting my play short stacked I am having some difficulty. The other day I actually won this crazy hand (pictured), taking the side pot for about $7, I eventually lost it all though. The quest continues.

In order from left to right: King High Flush, 8 High Flush (me), Trip Aces. Trip Tens. Three pots, I won the first of two side pots for about $7.
