Well...I didn't do anything in the circuit event in New Orleans as far as tournaments go, but I did pump up my bankroll going into the WSOP by about $5000.00. I had 3 solid winning sessions in the cash arena and cashing in satellites. I am not going to make excuses as I have none. I got my chips in with the best in several spots, and the poker gods did not see to it that my cards would hold up. The final tournament I played in I made it down to 14 tables, and I had right at $4200.00 in chips. I look down in the BB at KdKc. A local guy named Rich moves all in from the cutoff for $5200.00. This is my chance to double up, and make my run for the money. Of course I call, Rich turns over Ad9h. He looks de-jected and down saying," Damn...I knew I shouldn't have done that". After I saw what he had I stood up from the table and said, "Don't worry man, its coming, I can feel it. Its just the way it has been running for me lately". At that point the dealer starts to deal and puts 3 cards face down. At the very second that he turns them over I point and say "Ace"...the Ac was in the window. They paid 63 and Rich cashed. One of my buds was at the table also, Brandon "Rut" Ruttley.
Props need to go out to Rut as he is still in the main event. He has had a great circuit event going deep in numerous tournaments and just overall running good. He satellited in on Sunday, and instead of taking the $5000.00 and calling it a day, he decided to fire the bullet and give the Main Event a shot. He is at around $23,000.00 going into day 2. I am going to go down and sweat him later today. Good luck Rut!!!
I also want to thank Captain Stack..."The King of Cash" for reading my blog and posting comments. If you are also blogging...let me know...I would love to read yours. I encourage people to post a comment as I am curious what people think of my blogging...even if it is to say "Quit being a Donkey" ... ;-)
I am also going check out the new poker room that has just opened 25 minutes from my house at the Amelia Belle Casino Boat...The poker rooms keep getting closer and closer.
Actually, I was feeling a little down last night as I feel I should have pulled the trigger and tried a little harder to get in the main event. The thing that is eating at me is after talking to Wild Bill, we both agreed that we would probably have sold the seat and taken the $5000.00 instead. I actually sold my last $500.00 chip Sunday night instead of playing in the last Mega at 7:00pm. There were lots of reasons why such as Vegas coming up, work, it would have finished too late, I had my wife...etc. The thing that bothered me was I went back and read my blogs, and then went down there yesterday to sweat Rut...and I just caught myself thinking...I should have tried as hard as I could to get in this thing. I know that I can play with those people. I know my game is good enough. I guess I am just wondering where my heart really is. Maybe I need to do some "Soul Searching"...

Keep your chin up Gene tournaments are tough on the best of em. Someone in your group could hit it big one day. Who knows it might be you. I bubbled in three events myself but tore up the cash game. And it could have been better if i didnt run into fellow blogger SlowplayJ. Dude if you are out there I will say it again. You are the biggest donkfish I ever saw.
I got KK, This guy called my preflop raise of $50 with 6-2 offsuit. Heads up he checks to me on a flop of 2-3-10 rainbow, I make it 100 he calls.Turn is a K, he checks ,I make it another 100 ,he goes all in for 300,I call of course and the fish gets a freakin 5 on river!!!!!! What a jackass! A GUTSHOT are you kidding??? And by the way your accent is worse than Bobby Bouchey's friend in Waterboy (straw hat)

you'll both need to shut you'll pieholes. I have played against both you, and i am not impressed to say the least, slowplayjay, you are down right just a fricking donkey (enough said), as far as you captainstacks it sound like you and Gene D. have the same issues, you'll get you'll money in with the best hand, and you'll get outdrawn, hey guys its poker not Monopoly. If you can't take the beats stay out the casinos and you will not have that problem. Every time i come on here i have to hear how gene D. get outdrawn. Hell stop being a tightass and play some garbage and your luck might change. It seems as thought i was the only one who cashed at the circuit event. Maybe i should be the one blogging.
