It amazes me at how I can play so badly for so long after all of these years of playing. It seems that I forget the basics and overplay and over analyze poker at times. In my quest to improve my game I lose sight that I need to keep the basics in the front of my mind.
Last night, while I was playing a tournament, something clicked, and just like that I was playing solid poker again. It continued on today and I tried to play as much poker as I could. This resulted in a winning day.
I played around 1100 hands of holdem cash coming out up 9.00. I also played 2 1.10 sng's that I did not place in.
I also played the 100 seats to the 109.00 tournament. There were close to 1400 runners and I was doing good most of the tournament staying in the top 50. I ran out of steam with 200 left and didn't make the ticket. I actually got moved tables and sat next to a big stack that would raise me all in if I tried to play any hand. I never got a hand I was comfortable pushing with so my chips dwindled until I felt I had to push. I had a 97s. He had 10 10. Go figure. He would have raised with anything and this time he had a hand. He was really playing good poker but it was making me mad because if I could have just gotten some cards his chips would have been mine and I would have been in the 109.00 game tomorrow.
My wife and I also had a bit of a date tonight where we went to dinner and a play. The town here has a production each year. This year we went to the night where they serve dinner before the play. We had Filet Minion with a baked potato, salad, a roll, and green beans with desert.
The show was really funny. The actors and actresses were really good. Next time they have it I will try to go back for the dinner and a show.
