WSOP Here I Come!!!

So far it's been a pretty bumpy road for me over the past couple of weeks.

I was running pretty good online for awhile playing mostly HU Matches and 1table SNG's and I was building my roll up slowly but surely.

Then, mid last week I made a decision to play in the $22 HU MTT on Stars with Lefty. I knew it was a big portion of my roll and that I shouldn't be putting it all into this MTT but I was feeling really confident with my game and especially my HU game. So I did it.

Lefty and I both got a freebie in the 1st round and sat out waiting for the next match to begin. When the 2nd match came around I started out strong, but then with a bad beat on the river, found myself hovering around 500chips for a 5 to1 chip lead for my opponent. I went into ShortStack Ninja Mode and made a bee line for the win! This brought both Lefty and I to the 3rd match. After my AQ ran into AK and I didn't improve it was all over and I bubbled.

I was still really happy with my play in that tournament and will definitely be playing it again just not until I have the roll that I can comfortably do it with.

So, after that, it all went wrong!! I was almost busto with my online roll, and staying true to "this being my last deposit" took a few days off to re-group.

So, a couple of nights ago I decided to play the 400 FPP Qualifier on Stars to get into their 4000 FPP Satelite into the WSOP. There were around 400players or so and top 34 won their way into the 4000FPP tourny.

It started off pretty slow. There were SOOOOO MANY donkeys it was laughable. I tightened up and was only playing premium hands. In doing so I was getting pretty bored so I decided to sit down at a cash game to keep me busy.

Now, I'd told myself no more cash games online so I decided to sit down at a micro-limit table with a minimum buyin and just have some fun. So I sat down at a 0.01/0.02 table with, get this, $1.25!

At the end of my session, I'd placed in the top 34 of the 400 FPP tourny to win my way into the Satellite this weekend and I left the cash game table with... Are you ready? $22!!!

Hahaha... I was on a SICK run and was getting hit in the face with cards. But, at the same time, I was also playing some great poker. My reads were on and I was able to lay down some pretty big hands to get out of the way. All in all, I was VERY happy with the night.

I'm feeling really good about my game right now and I'm really hoping to do well this weekend in the 4000FPP tourny. I'm not expecting the field to be all that great so I'm hoping to be able to pick up some big hands early on and get paid off on them and then keep building my stack!

I've got a really good feeling about this and I'm really stoked to be playing again! Jenn is coming back from Europe tonight so I probally won't be playing any poker until Sunday so I should be good and rested and in a really good frame of mind!
