WSOP in NOLA


This week is the final stop of the World Series of Poker Circuit events, and their final stop brings the WSOP close to home. It's been a while since my last big cash and I'm feeling a littlew down about my poker lately. Yesterday we went to scope out the action. The $1-$2 NL game was it's typical Donkey-laiden game and I dumped $300 into the hands of the donkeys there. I chose not to rebuy when my pocket QQ's were cracked by 83 off suit. Then I played a single table sit n go for $125. The final 3 of us chopped. I got $300. Player 2 got $300. And the chip leader took $500. I played another $125 sng and ran my AK into donekys twice and finally lost my chips. I'm not sure I understand some of these guys strategies with the sng's, but I think we'd all do better if they didn't push donkey hands too early.

I won the rest of my money for the night at a 3 card poker table game machine! Go figure. At first I didn't realize that 1=$5 so when I though I was betting $15 I was actually betting $75 per hand! Whoa! So without knowing what was going on I turned $120 into $270 in a snap. I played it 2 more times before leaving for the night. Both times I turned $100 into $300. So for the night I was $300 ahead.

I'm finally ready. I've spent the last 24 hours with visualizations, watching poker videos, and handling life maintenance. I feel like I'm ready for the $550 tomorrow. I'm ready to be on my game and to win that tournament!
