Solid Wednesday

So I played an afternoon session yesterday, I believe it was the first time I have played online during the week since before the WSOP started. My day got off to a disappointing start as I got it in AIP twice in the first hour of play with pair over pair and got two outed on the river both times, once in a three-way pot!

I was able to stay focused and composed despite the rocky start and finished 24th in the UB 80k sniper as well as 2nd in the Stars Quarter Million, the latter for a 37.5k. There were a staggering amount of top players still left in the 250k with three tables remaining including jornxx, DJK, Mendieta19 and Bhanks11. I got it in as 2 to 1 dog three times in the final 4 tables and won all three...guess its safe to say I got the "run-bad" out of my system Sunday

When I busted Bhhanks 4th after tank calling his 4bet overshove with AJ and holding aginst his JT I thought I had the thing all but won. Ended up going into HU play against a $25 average buy-in player with a 3.5 to 1 chip lead and losing. Although I flopped literally no more than 5 pairs over the course of the 1.5 hour HU match I am still extremely disappointed I could not close the door. There is really no excuse for not coming away with a victory in this spot. I take a great deal of pride in my ability to finish tournaments and am looking forward to reviewing the hand histories of this match with friends in an effort to look for spots to improve my play.

Unlikely to play again until Sunday. Plan to play just about every FTOPS and WCCOP day. Once these two series are over I am going to focus a lot more on live tourneys, starting with the Legends 10k at the Bike.
