Well, its day 3 and i’m sitting with 271,00 in chips and neither card player magazine or the WPT grunts can get anything right.  I’ve been within the chip race throughout most of the tournament and now I am 11th in chips with 131 players left and they cant spell my name right after telling them at least a half dozen times.  I’m shocked that Barry Shulman actually hires and pays for this kind of help that nobody within this million dollar business can get a players name right.  What’s worse is that they look at me like I have two heads everytime I tell them “you are spelling my name wrong”!

More bad news is that WPT cant seem to get it right either, so unless your name is Barry Greenstein or Freddy Deeb, you are a nobody and they dont care how your birth name is spelled.  At this point, I just want to win the event so that my family can live well and I can express my dissapointment with the Cardplayer and WPT staff.  The friends and few fans that do follow my action are disgusted with the coverage and are frustrated for me. 

My thoughts (which are negative and unwelcomed) during my down time is that I really hate feeling this negative energy and need to figure out a way to overcome it.  I’m doing what I can to force it out, but feel equally as responsible as I’m letting the overall Foxwoods experience get to me, and its affecting my focus.  In my 17 years of playing poker, this is the worst travel and poker tournament I’ve ever participated in…but what do i know?  The media doesnt cover me so I must be non-existant.  I’m going to force myself to block out the bad energy and focus on the positives  I have chips and I’m heading to day 4…I have chips and I’m heading to day 4…I have chips I’m heading to day 4.
