why i am a tournament donk...
August 06, 2008i played an 11.70 sat. to the sunday million (and a half) last night. 3 tickets and one 30 dollar rebate....
6 players left and I am first in chips. I know this is still going to be a grind because people are hanging on for dear life. I am playing effectively, stealing blinds whenever possible to maintain my stack but more importantly keep those chips from other players. I have an excellent read on the other players at my table.
4 players left and now I am guaranteed some money. i really want the tourny ticket though and keep reassuring myself that i can sit on my hands and someone will bust.
3 players left and I only have 30 dollars to show. How did I lose you ask? I played a marginal hand preflop. hit middle pair on the flop and based on a read knew i had the best hand. the chips went in on the turn and my opponent hit an ace on the river for an overpair.
i couldnt sleep for two hours...why dont i just fold????????????????

turning the corner
August 04, 2008i know it is the first of many but i really feel like i have turned a corner with my play in the last week. my play has been incredibly consistent (minus one 2 hour tilt session) and more importantly i am picking up my mistakes as i make them. it feels amazing to play. ive found, however, i am a little gun shy.extended sessions would help build my roll and my knowledge but i am afraid to push it. i want to play at my peak everytime i open a session. i dont want to loose this groove im in.
ive made more in the last week than i make at my day job (which isn't saying alot) and i feel really confident that within a year or so i could be playing this game for a living. (long term goal)

the rollercoaster...
August 01, 20085th hand of the day...
i wake up with AA in the BB. Player in middle position raises and i call. the flop comes out low rainbow and i bet. he raises 4x my bet and i push all-in. he calls w/ AK unsuited. I felt him and smile.
1st hand of heads up play. he limps. i check w/ 74cc. hit club flush on turn. get the chips in and he turns over J high flush. i throw mouse out window. (ok not really but i wanted it to happen.)
how i love this game.
