For sure. For me, I prob lost like half my starting stack in a couple flip pots where I had the best of it. I ran like god in 3b pots the first day (my cbets all got folded to, and I stacked a guy), and it was a complete shift in the other direction on day 2. I also had a guy who is apparently a T/25 reg (and also very aggro) 2 to my left on day 2, when I was at a mega nitty table day 1. Pretty much everything was opposite, I was expecting cats to be making friends with dogs that day. Go go go!

I'm on dinner break. There are approximately 125-130 people left and I've got 291K going to 10K/20K/3K. Average stack should be about 480K. I'm pretty card dead and spot dead but I'm just grinding away at it hanging in there. All I need is two big hands to be among the leaders again.

Also, I don't even wanna say this, but I finished 124th in the last Event 1 I played, and I'd really like to not Mark Newhouse this thing with another 124th.

I'm out. Got it in with AK against AQ preflop and the Q in the window was followed by four bricks. 68th out of 2,408 for a frustrating $2336 on a $560. All the money was in the top 12. Close, but hopefully I'll break through for my big score this summer.

That's why I play so few tournaments - they're fun, but when you not only need to run good, you need to do it on the right day at the right time, a lot has to go well for you beyond your skill.

Finally caught up with the thread, will now follow in "real-timish" mode.

Nice journey cuse, I really enjoy how you write your stories!

Since you have diet and exercise in your objectives, I thought about linking you to this 2+2 thread just in case you had not seen it yet. Some good info/advice in it:

Official thread on diet and exercise by Terrence Chan and Jason Koon

Best of luck!

It's possible we played together and I didn't have a 'Cuse hat on - you should have shot me a PM though, I was at B Bar a couple of times. I actually spent most of my time either in the tourney or 5/10, I only played probably four hours of 2/5.

That moment when you find out Michael Jordan and Nelly were playing poker at Aria last night, and you should have been in Vegas for fight weekend.

Oops.

Don't let those drug-fueled dreams fool you buddy, WHEN I ship a milly you'll still be my friend.
