Well I was super bummed because I was one of the 300 or so turned away from Day 1d. I was literally in a state of depression and probably should not have played Monday online at all because I definitely tilted. I decided to take Tuesday off and hang with some friends but, tbh I was still in a really bummy mood so the guys ended up going to Cut at Palazzo which I've been dying to go try. Anyway, I was so pissed off/bummed out that I skipped that. I guess there's always next year and I have been thinking about maybe playing a satellite to the WPT 15k on Monday. I'm still not super comfortable playing live and that field would be more difficult than the ME field so we will see. The other thing is I love online and there are some good tournies on Saturday.

On a side note, I need to balance my life a little better. I've noticed when I get bummed about poker or whatever I skip out on my friends or really cool events. For example on Sunday, I played a full Sunday schedule instead of going to the CR party. Last night I made the FT of the UB 80k sniper but got brutally sucked out on so was in a pretty bad mood after and my friends wanted to get some late night dinner and debauchery...so I skipped out.

I'm so irritated lately because of my results at final tables. I guess I just have this attitude that if I'm not first I'm last (yeah Ricky Bobby). I definitely know I'm better than most mtt guys, they are all just horrible and don't know how to play post flop. I see ranked players make dumb plays post flop all the time and its no wonder they get killed at when they try to play cash. Anyway, I keep telling myself that if I want to be a good tourney player, I shouldn't care about coolers or bad beats..its so brutal at final tables though. I think I'm usually pretty good about shaking it off but after awhile it just gets to you. Anyway, today is a new day and actually a day off (yay!) so gonna take it easy till Friday for sure...

So until next time xoxo babes!
