Been in the dumps lately - like that's a big secret. A part of it was poker (only a part...my doldrums are as well-balanced as the rest of my life isn't).
I'm at the stage of the BBToo where, in the BBT orginale, I looked at my lack of progress, looked at the far btter MTT players who were succeeding, looked at how the ramped up competition was sucking the fun out of it for me, and looked at the amount of $ I was spending to try and compete in a place where I was not succeeding. And in the first BBT, I bailed.
But this time, ah this time. AlCantHang went above and beyond on this one. I WANT this in a way I didn't want the first BBT. I'm a slightly better player, my confidence is (usually) greater, and I have an extra reason to visit down under than you lot: The Loud One.
You have no idea how much it utterly sucks to be stuck in the doldrums when your partner-in-crime and BFF lives halfway around the fucking world. The Fuck x 24 post could have been avoided with the pre-emptive strike of a good bitch session over dinner and a few good cocktails. And maybe a manicure thrown in for good measure.
So I've been thinking of bailing on the BBToo. The cash I'm dumping on it would enable me to have more fun in Vegas, and let's be real here, are my MTT skills really up to the task?
But then I looked at the leaderboard, I mean really looked at it. As of today I am in 14th place. Yes I've only ITM-ed once for $16.80, but I'm higher in points than others who have ITM-ed a few times. I'm the highest ranking poker chick ATM, followed by Gracie in 26th.
Fuck bailing. I want this. I can do this. I might not win TOC seat, and if I do, I likely won't win the Big Seat, but fuck it, I'm going to play and see where it takes me.
Now does anyone have a copy of Harrington's Volume II on late stage tournament play I can borrow?
****
Yeah talk about jinxing yourself.
I posted the above as the Riverchasers was starting. And I'm out by 9:20. Totally misplayed a hand with Daddy, and basically gave him 2/3 of my stack to his well played set. Lost the rest to some donk when he thought that'd be pretty damn cool to call my allin with 74 s00ted.
I think I shoulda stayed in the bubble bath.
