Well if bubbling 8 away from the money wasn’t tough enough on event #2, bubbling 4 out of the money wasn’t much fun either. However, I did manage to get through another huge field and get in a solid 12 hour session of “avoid the land mines”. In 12 hours I barely had any hands to work with and most of my maneuvers came from stone cold bluffs. While I didn’t enjoy NOT cashing when getting so close to the money for two events in a row, I feel good about getting back into the groove, long hours of sitting, changing gears, reading players minds and the natural progression towards just playing great poker again.

At the point the deck starts to hit me in my new flat belly, I will be doing back flips in the aisles while I stack towers of chips and get to some final table action in the next few events.

I’ve been mostly eating almonds and sunflower seeds at the table along with my FUBAR drinks and Organic fuel bars. While I look around at what the rest of the players are forced to eat and drink at the World Series, I am truly thankful for for my tasty FUBAR’s. They keep me replenished and focused for the entire day, while my good friend Ed has made me some special brain power water that I have yet to try out. I wasn’t going to break it out until I reached a day 2 or final table, however, I may be busting it out on Thursday’s 6 handed event…the event I took 4th in last year.

Thank you to everyone who believed in me this year, I hope to make you proud.
