Travels, Ramblings, and some good'ole Poker

Played the $530 wcoop hu today.  What a great tournament structure!  This tournament fit my style perfectly.  Wasn't too fast, the timing was just about right.  Actually may be a little fast but it has to be otherwise it would be a 3day event.

In my first match, I was actually playing Heroes of Newerth at the same time but my mind was pretty sharp today.  Snapcalled this guy down while video gaming lol

So while not the best concentration during the first match, I did win it and crush the 2nd round guy.  Unfortunately I fell in the 3rd round with A8 < 97 on 587.  
Reallllllllly disappointing finish.  I was playing really well today, there was no doubt in my mind I was going to take it down.  I was actually pretty depressed when I lost, went straight to bed at 6:30pm haha.

Oh well, I played a very strong A game and that's what matters.  I just need to log more hands and play better and I'll be alright.

2 WCOOP tourneys today, I'm going to play those and then get back to focusing on HU for the rest of the month.

Really excited to play this event next time.  I can smell first place on the way.
