Memorial Day: "I'm back"
Happy Memorial Day to everyone. I know its been a good minute since I last posted. Seem like about 2 weeks perhaps. Maybe a little more. Nothing much has happened since my last post. Well, I take that back. A little something something maybe.
Since my last post, I did take a trip to Atlantic City to get some tournament poker play in. Went up to Harrahs early on a SUnday morning to play their $250+$30 SUnday NL Tourney. Not a bad torunament. Had about 111 players and I finished in 30th place. They started us with T$5000 in chips and blind levels were 45 minutes each. I like that. I played some good poker. I think there were 2 hands I may have misplayed which had I played correctly, I think I'm at the final table. I can't remember the details. I think it was a hand I folded where I had pocket 10's and I folded to a guy who claims to me later that he had two face cards. I didnt gamble when he came over the top of me and I should have.
Anyway, I left there feeling a bit bitter and decided to catch the Sunday evening tourney over at The Taj ($120 Buy-In if I recall correctly). Now, after the loss at Harrahs, I decided to dig in and play some very strong poker. Strong it was. I dug in and grinded out a 6th Place finish out of about 1 something players. Talk about rebuilding my confidence. It really was a boost.
I stayed the night in A.C. at Harrahs and got some rest for the trip back on Monday. I decided to play the Borgata Monday daily and didnt do as well in that tourney. I think I should have left while I was ahead. Anyway. I played some good poker and feel good about game still.
Nothing much has happened since then. I finished in 5th Place at my Tuesday night game and picked up a little cash fomr that. I also hosted the game this past Tuesday at my place.
Other than these games, I havent done much when it comes to poker. I think the warm weather has taken me away from the felt some. However, starting today, I'm back at it. I mean, I haven't been on RecPoker, I havent been on MD-poker, I havent been on pocketfives.com and I have'nt played any online poker in over a week. Today, I change all of that.
I just entered a $10+$1 tourney on FTP just to get my feel back. We will how that goes. It started at 1pm. So, I better go focus on that. Until I post again, may your cards be live and your pots be monsters.
