No I Don't Know What I'm Doing. Why Do You Ask?
Is it Monday again already? Nuts.
It was a quiet weekend on the poker front. I busted in a standard spot - 42nd - in the Riverchasers, but had fun goofing around and enjoying a couple 'pops'.
Friday brought frustration. I decided to play the dollar donkament and had things going pretty well. Unfortunately, though, FTP did not want to stay connected. I didn't notice any problems with other internet-related stuff, but I can't swear that it was a Full Tilt issue. The problem got worse and worse as we got deep into the tournament, but since I was doing well I was reluctant to just check the autofold box and log off. I ended up bubbling when I couldn't take it anymore and shoved junk. Yeah, I got $0 for fourth instead of fighting for $50+ for third. Which sucked. But not as much as waiting and waiting and waiting to reconnect.
I don't think it really affected my finish, but I thought it was interesting that I was on a run of more than 80 hands without a pocket pair when I finally busted. I did get a pocket pair over at the old school blogger cash table, but as usual KK was no good against AQs all in preflop. Sigh.
Moving on, I managed to remember Saturdays with Dr. Pauly just as it was starting. Thank you Stars for having late registration. Another week, another mid-pack bustout.
The BBT3 rolls on this week and I'm definitely planning on a limited schedule. I have a token but will probably skip the MATH tonight. Skillz Series is a maybe tomorrow. Probably no Mookie on Wednesday. Likely yes on Riverchasers Thursday. If you have an interest in going to the World Series of Poker and you're not playing these events, what the heck are you thinking?
The Bodonkey is also a probable tomorrow. They've added a twist this week - Josh Arieh is going to play and there is a $T100 bounty on his head. Great structure + nice overlay + reasonable 9:05 starting time = sweet sweet tournament.
Wrapping things up, I would tell you about how well I'm doing in my NCAA brackets, but that would just further jinx them so screw it. I'll end up out of the money anyway. Besides, bracket brags are even more annoying than bad beat stories. I'll stick to what I know.
