NOW THIS WAS A GOOD TIME. I go into these things wanted to play well, but im not blind to the fact that a certain levelm the players left are just so damn good that either Im gonna ride a wave of good luck or just make sick call after sick call and yall know me, MY CALLS AINT THE SICKEST

I DO FEEL I GOT MY MOJO BACK TODAY and that makes me very happy. 153 entereed and I went out 42nd so I got through 2/3rds of the field. I really slowed my play a lot and plai attention to bets I threw in the pot to get people off me or if they called me and I ddint want to go through, I didnt hurt myself very much. NONE OF THESE 1K calls without much thought, I tried to keep strict to 1/3 and under bets if I was probing or just trying to get folders.

I was able to knock out a few people and I was able to build a healthy stack until after the first break which is LEVEL 7 at 20 MINUTES A LEVEL. ITs at this point in these things I got to start opeing my range (much like I recently read in Slankskys theorum of poker book) but I just not sure or confindent enough to start getting my range wide open but I know I gotta quit waiting. Im not sure if im better playing POCKETS that are suited but very far gapped, or Kor Q rag meaning k3 Q4 I mean horrible kickers and try hiting the high card or hope the cards stay low. of just stick with conncetors all around. from what I have seen it looks like it has to be a healthy mix of all of them, casue after 2/3 of the field is gone, most know im folding junk 99% and if IM in apot Im pretty strong and I need to get people not thinking that

WELL THE OUTCOME TODAY WAS NO cards were really coming my way for a 2hile picked up 77

One dude pushed in for 3K leaving only 4K if I called the bet so I pushed all in (Maybe that goes agaisnt what BOB wrote in the other thread or maybe it was a good time to finally push)

77 vs A4s TK5 (AWESOME EXCEPT 2 were spades) Trun 8h 2 (AWESOME I DID IT, NAH it was spade) 77 lost to flush but I had a hell of a good time today

THe slogan around here is dont get bitter get better and really a lot loses I dont do either but THURSDAY NIGHT I WAS BITTER and NOW IM GONNA GET BETTER (as I had my eye on any pairs hitting the board)
