Grinding
After writing my last blog I immediately hit the tables and continued to lose quite a bit. I quit earlier this time and was trying to figure out what was wrong. I knew it was a bit of variance but I also knew I wasn't playing very good. My mindset just seemed to be a bit off, I was getting frustrated by stupid things that never bother me, and frankly just doing stupid things. To be honest I don't even know why. So I took the rest of the night off and forced myself to watch some training videos to get my head straight... and it that seemed to work. I was able to re-focus and had a killer day today. I actually had one of my biggest winning days of the year.. funny how that works, that I can have my biggest losing day and winning day in the same week.
Oh yeah, the other night I was shooting and sweating eskal's brother Chantro and we decided to play the super turbo tourney. I think I mentioned it before, but its basically a crap shoot tournament where you start with 300 chips and gamble. I love it because so many people enter it and for a $117 buy-in you can win almost 10k in about an hour.
During this tourney I felt like I was going to win at all points.. I was running good, winning flips and built up a stack. I think around 400 people started and we were down to 15 people when I got it all in with AK vs Q9.. flop was Q,4,4.. and I was out. It was like a punch in the throat, all I needed to do was run good for like 20 more minutes and I would ship the tournament. I forgot how big of a cock tease tournaments can be, you get so friggin deep and can taste 1st place money only to get fucked. Me and Chantro have been playing a bunch of these things and I guarantee we're going to win one, I can just feel it.
Alright back to the grind...
Later
