The slide continues - results from 5/2
Well I tightened up my play. Sometimes though you can do that but still lose. That is what happened last night. I was much happier with the play overall though. I know that slumps happen, and I will break out of this one. I played one WSOP freeroll thanks to Bluff Magazine but I did not place well. I made one big mistake reraising with 1010 on a 762 rainbow board against a tight player. He called allin with AA (who can blame him) and won the pot. That left me short stacked and I pushed with A8s to knock out some limpers. I get called by Q10 and of course a 10 pops up (why the heck couldnt it pop up when I need it) to kill me.
Then I played in one $10 SNG at Stars and finished 3rd. To show you how bad I am running, check out this hand....

Fortunately I did not lose many chips, and I was able to cash. It sure was aggravating though.
So tonight will be alot more playing since I dont have anything going on. The bankroll now sits at $11,220. Hopefully that is as low as it gets. Take care and good luck everyone.

How in the name of any superior being did you win the PA freeroll League twice?
I can't even finish in the top 25 of any one game. I hope you try to defend in December.
It'd be funny to see Freeroll League winner:
Dec -04
Dec -05
Dec -06
There's a level to your game I'm not seeing.
Your MTT game is really good maybe play multi-table SnGs. You might not to get your full range of moves in one table.
Or stick to MTT.
Just a suggestion.
Yeah it is funny that I have won that thing twice considering how good the field is. I have qualified for the end of month final 10 times and never even played in the final because of other commitments. They have a rule saying that you have to finish in the top 25 in 3 different tourneys to qualify. There have been months I have qualified even though I only played in three events.
I do have a knack for MTT as my play in the Bluff Poker Tour has shown. My first year on the tour I thought I was lucky but now after my start this year I figure I may have stumbled on to something. That is why I want to play in the Sunday tourneys by the end of the year to see how good my skills really are.
As you know I have pretty much given up the PA league so I am not sure if I will try and defend the title for another year. But you never know ;-).
CYA on Thursday and get on ICQ so we can chat. Take care.
If you are watching all the Mets games then can you tell meif Beltran is a bum or what?
Is NY too much for him?
Having Delgado protecting him doesn't seem to be helping.
I will tell you that Beltran will be fine. Keep in mind that he was not a top 10 player before he came to the Mets. He had a great playoff series and took advantage of it.
