On a completely non poker note, and I may have said this in the past, Devil Dogs are by far the bestest, greatest junk food in the world. I have been on a strict diet for the last two weeks, and in my spare time, i have given this a lot of thought. Once a month I will indulge in one super sweet thing, and it will be devil dogs =) Whats hilarious is that a few of my friends who live in the South have never heard of Devil Dogs, they thought I made up the name. Too funny. Devil dogs are my ultimate weakness in the junk food of life.
As many of you guys know from reading this blog, I am constantly balancing my emotions in poker versus objective, rational decision making. This has continuously been my greatest obstacle. Emotions serve to cloud judgments, change reads, and cause just downright bad play. Being a chic, it is harder for me to separate my poker self from my emotional self. In every tournament over the past ten days, with the exception of the 2k at foxwoods (which I will blog about separately), I have built a huge stack, just to get some sick fkin cooler, which prevents me from an inevitable final table. Cursing immediately follows my bust out. But then I remind myself that its my job to get my opponent to play poorly and trick him into getting his stack in bad. Whatever happens after that point, it is ultimately out of my control.
That being said, I have tried many new things to improve my game the last two weeks. I played a bunch of points tournaments and lower limit tournies to practice being more aggressive later in tournaments. LOL. I know some of you think i am super aggro as it is. However, what I need to add to my game is more three and four betting without being all in. In other words, three betting and four betting when my stack is really deep. It has worked out well, and I am much more comfortable now than I was last month. I feel an immediate improvement and I am excited to play every day.
As far as results go, I have three final tables in the last two weeks, two in the 130$ nightly on UB and a smaller tournament. I have a step 10 for Aruba (but I might save it and use for another trip), and a bunch of step 7-9s to play. I have really mastered my sng-satellite game and I think it shows in my success in steps.
I played the $55 nightly on Stars and Full tilt 4x in the last week, I went deep three times. Top 40. Last night was the worst, I got it in 4th in chips w AA against AK diam and was practically drawing dead when he flopped nuts. Sigh. If I win that hand, I guarantee a top 3 finish instead of 30th place. Another tourney another day.
I have a bunch of hands from live play to blog about, and I will post them soon. I played a small satellite at Borgata on Sat and bubbled that too, its all about the bubbles these days. =)
I am excited for my Sunday tournies, I will post tonight or tomorrow, along with the hands and let you know how it went. Last Sun was torture, I wish my laptop caught on fire so the torture wouldve at least been stopped, lmao. Ok. More later,
Good money and peace,
Garnet.
