Ive started to play tournaments in the past few weeks, mainly just the 215 or 500 buckers since the prizes will actually give me a rush to play for and I wont feel like I'm wasting my time. Usually when Im playing tournaments Im not really too focused early on and have a bunch of cash tables going... I'll shut down my cash games if I end up going deep but so far I've only got deep in one of the 215 sundays and pretty much lost flips in the other 7 or 8 ive played and couldnt get chips when I needed it. I figure if there's so many bad players in tournaments that it will always be profitable and I wanna get a large score & a piece of the pie so to speak. Ended up finishing like 350th outta 5k ppl but obv wasnt a big score at all.

There's something about tournaments and going deep that gives you that rush and thrills you dont get playing cash games every day, this probably happenin due to the chance to make some huge money by winning the whole tourny. I havent won a tourny yet, best i've finished was 2nd a long time ago in some smaller tourny with not a huge field on UB so I am still lookin forward to taking one down. The players are usually pretty horrendous other than the other pros so I should be able to cash one hopefully sooner than later as it almost feels like Im giving away money right now playin tournies but meh Im sure I'll profit one day.

Played some cash games today and played like crap droppin a couple buyins at 10/20 pretty quick ... possibly due to being tired and Im pretty disappointed with how I played. Looking back I guess I only played one hand terribly and got coolered pretty bad in another spot ...got unlucky on both hands since both players made nuts when they needed to and I kept throwin chips in. I tend to get upset a lot more when I play bad than when I run bad which is a good recipe for always playing my A game and not tilting when getting bad beat.

anyways Im sure im just rambling now and am goin to eat dinner and watch "the curious case of benjamin button". Later playas
