First WC sunday

by ckingusc on 01/08/08

So just played my first sunday under the wafflecrush banner and was looking to get off to a good start. Now obviously i know that it is a sunday and im bound to lose money most the time and often alot, still i wanted to just put out a good performance. I feel like I played probably some of the best poker i've played in awhile and the break i've had and talking to shaun deeb has also helped. I'm playing a stronger more aggressive game and am making fewer mistakes. This is shown by the fact that i built alot of big stacks in tournies. Sadly i only cashed 2 of the 15 or so tournies i played (the sunday mill being one of them however). I just busted in tons of them on the bubble to races or sick beats for often huge stacks. I was even CL in the mulligan for awhile but would eventually bust in a monster pot with QQ in the small blind vs AK of the button.

I did get disheartened by some of the beats and i still have some leaks that im working on noting and then talking to players about. I feel very strong about my early game and i feel like my end game (what i've gotten to see of it) is good however still a bit tight (which is probably partly due to not cashing much and looking to not screw up). I also think im playing great on the bubble which is often part of why im taking huge suckout beats on the bubble. That said that is the only part of my mid game that I'm currently very pleased with. I've had a number of tournies where i felt like i let myself bleed down way too much. I think this is a leak in my game for sure that im hoping to discuss with some players who i respect. Still I didnt do too horrible today (monday) with cashing a few tournies and while still a losing day it's not due to me playing poorly.

Going to go back to columbia tomorrow so I don't know if i will play tuesday night cause I might not sleep before leaving but otherwise I def will. Also thursday is my 22nd birthday so im looking forward to going out with some friends there for sure.
