Haven't blogged in a while and I apologize for that, have been dealing with some really annoying stuff lately. 2 days before Thanksgiving I was rear ended on the highway going to my girlfriend's parent's house for her break. He was going about 40-50~ MPH and neither me or my girlfriend Emily heard any breaks before it happened. My car has been in the shop up until about a week ago, and since then I've been dealing with a bunch of problems with my back/neck/shoulders along with Emily and was going to physical therapy 2-3 times a week in December while I was staying with my parents in Florida for the holidays. Fun times.
Had a good holiday with the family, and enjoyed the freezing weather in florida as well(wtf). Left for PCA through orlando and hour later I was there. Stayed 2 days extra with Emily at Paradise Harbour All Inclusive hotel and was definitely worth it. Free food and drinks all day
Got to get in some snorkeling and lazy river goodness before busting day 3 of the PCA in 128th for 20k. Was a really fun tournament but couldn't get much going towards the end and lost a flip. Got to finally meet the bigdog and his girl which was awesome, and seeing everyone again was pretty cool since I don't get to play live often. Registered the 1k side event after I busted the main and spewed it pretty quickly, probably not a good idea in hindsight.
Poker has been very rough in 2010. I spent most of it grinding out of 110k~ makeup, and since I have it seems to have come back again but only on a 35-40 downer at the moment. Feeling really good about my game and the amount of deep runs I've had has me feeling comfortable that in due time I'll get what's due. It's always important to treat tournaments like a game you're playing everyday. Eliminate the money the best you can and just focus on the stacks,blinds, table dynamics, and making the best possible decisions from the start of your session until your finished.
Going to focus very hard in 2011 and put in a lot of volume. Hopefully when I turn 21 in December I'll be super confident to make a go at most of the EPT/WPT/WSOP in 2012 and do the best possible. Still have to get a bit more comfortable playing live. I feel like I'm a live tellbox sometimes and am going to focus on eliminating any possible tells and getting as familiar possible with players tendencies live.
Good luck to everyone in next weeks Double Guarentees promotion on FTP, should be fun times of playing all day everyday
Gonna go see The Green Hornet, hopefully it's at least funny/watchable reviews don't look too great but I'm gonna give it some hope!
