Hey guys,

I was about to take the dog for a talk but it started to rain so I thought I'd write a blog.  The last few weeks have been awesome.  I've been on a sick heater and I don't think I've had a losing day in that time period.  Along with winning the two tournaments things have been good.  Unfortunately things cooled off 3 days ago and now I can't win a hand.  Poker is such a funny game.  It can't just be gradual, it has to swing like a mother fucker.  At least it does for me.  I'm either killing it, winning non stop.. or losing every pot I play.  I guess its just the nature of the beast.  I'm getting better at handling the downswings with experience though.  Because honestly, a year ago when I went through a downswing I would be a wreck.  It just put me in a bad mood all the time.  Its not easy losing to players who are inferior to you.  For example there was a guy the other day who sat down with a huge stack who had no idea what he was doing.  He just starting going all-in every hand with any two cards.  Within an hour I watched him lose over $5000, just giving away money.  Unfortunately every time I got it all in with him he would beat me....



Thats just a small example. But  I honestly played like 10 pots like that with him and he won every single time.  Then he would go and lose it to someone else.  Very very frustrating. 

I've also been playing some of the FTOPS with limited success.  I'm not going to post any hands, but basically it sung the same tune... I would get it in with KK vs 88, 8 on the flop.. gg me.  Its funny because when things are going bad it seems like the poker gods continue to tease you over and over.  The very few times I went deep in a tournament, I would bubble.  I was playing a satellite the other night for a $1000 seat, top 5 get a seat.. I get it all in with Aces vs A,3o and lose to get knocked out 6th for zero dollars...lol 

Oh well, I haven't decided if I'm just going to play through it, or take a little break.  There's another FTOPS starting in about an hour I kinda want to play in so we'll see.

All and all though.. I'm pretty happy with myself.  I'm not letting this little losing stint effect me at or outside of the tables.  Just going to stay positive and plow through it. 

I'll let you know how the battle goes..
