August 11, 2006

I have started to dabble in the speeds more. I have also decided to take a different approach to blogging. I will just update a few times a week, not every day. I dont like the fact that this becomes a bitching session, but the bottom line is that bad beats and bad runs of cards and luck are going to happen. They will happen in short intervals, like during one set, and in long intervals, over the couse of weeks. I am finally starting to understand a few things...well, not understand because i have always understood the theory behind poker and statistics, but i didnt understand the emotional side of what those statistics mean. You just got to deal with it and stay focused...dont let it get to you because it will never go away...either embrace it or quit. and i think that those people on the tables that are complaining all teh time...they just havent done it yet.

anyway, back to the speeds...

played in a $44 MTT and took 14th of 504. was all in with 44 and lost my coin flip to AK. played well, made a lot of great steals...never should have gotten as deep as i did, but i stole a ton of blinds and then caught a hand and was able to win a few here and there. very happy with how i played...might play a few more speeds.
