running so bad in tournies!!! wow just sickening... cash games going great though. gonna try to grind a ton of mtts today and tomorow... weekend the games are even softer... dunno how thats possible... really have gotten into the philosophy of being uber agressive in tournies... fields are so big you need to actively chip up not try to survive like an sng... if things go bad and you get short you can just go into nash equilibrium shove fold mode which you would have to do anyway if nit up and don get hands... 3 betting incessantly and 4 bet bluffing a lot... creating spots to take chps, not just have them given to me

while you are all out there partying and horsing around, im grinding, im reviewing my game, im studying theory. i will never listen to the naysayers. if you fear failing you will never get anywhere, i dont fear failure, i fear inaction.
