what a disappointing weekend. i was really excited for the wcoop $300 HU tourny. i went out in the first round. i lost most of my chips on one hand which i felt like i couldn't get away from the hand. standard raise to 60 by my opponent, and i make it 180 with kj. flop comes j52 with two clubs. i bet out 200 and he calls. turn comes an ace...i check, he bets 450 or something...and i call. the river comes another ace. the flush didn't come, and i checked again. he bet 950 and i felt that ace was the only card to keep me in the hand. any other card, i was planning on check folding. so i called, and he has a boat with a5. oh well....and i then played the 2nd chance wcoop tourny. and again....out in the first round. dont even remember what happened in that one. i feel when im really on my game, i very relaxed and patient. and the 2nd chance tourny, i know i had made a couple moves which i probably didn't need to make because it was so early on. i have to keep reminding myself to remain more patient, and take less chances against players who you know you have an edge on.

it wasn't all bad news for that tournament though. my boy dr. fells, ended up chopping for the win, and my other friend breakribs got 5th or 6th. so congrats to them on a great tournament. also would like to say congrats to thetight who has gotten very deep in 2 wcoop tournies, and basically one hand away from making a final table.

as for me...i got killed over the weekend in my regular HU games. seems like every time i try to play a few games against a bad player at a higher level, i lose. i took a shot against in a few 1k's against a player who i felt i had a nice edge, and lost all three games. played some 550's against him also...and lost. somewhere around a 8k loss friday + saturday...not fun. but i did make some make some up on sunday. and now to grind the 330's to make that money back is torture. but it has to be done.

and can someone please tell the mets to not blow another september lead....please???? i mean this is ridiculous. and how about the gggggg men? man they look good. alright...i guess i should get some games in. which means ill slack off and watch some tv, but whatever.
