PCA update
I'll make this a quick one, full trip report to come.
I busted out of the tourney about 3 hours into day one. In the first hour I ran a set into a bigger set for about half my chips, then missed a a nut flush draw to knock me down to 3.5k. I busted in the last few hands at 100/200 when my AT got killed by KJ all in preflop to raptor.
Oh well, Leah and I are having a great time and i'll give a full trip report and soem good stories later.

First Blog- Upcoming PCA
by ianisakson on 01/03/08
Hello readers,
This is my first blog and I just started it up to keep everyone up to date on my poker playing.
I'm heading to the Pokerstars Caribbean Adventure tomorrow morning with Leah. We're both looking forward to the trip and getting to spend some time on the beach and out of the sub-zero Wisconsin weather. Hopefully I make some money too, but expectations aren't too high as it's only 1 tournament. I've been playing a lot better the last few days then the past couple months. I really feel like I was trying too hard to outplay everyone and after some introspection and reading I feel like I can do a lot better trying to stay under the radar and just chip away instead of going for the home-run hit every time.
I'll try to keep this updated through the week and maybe post some pictures as we go along.
