I haven't blogged at all this month.  That's not because I don't want to, but there just seems to be little happening in my poker journey.  I've played 3 cash sessions, which 2 were following a tourney (which usually are quick and shorthanded).  I've spent the majority of the last couple of months focusing on tournaments and its really frustrating.  Frustrating in that my tournament game is weak and you can go forever without making a score. 

I've gone deep 1 out of 4 in the league in which I finished 5th.  The other games, I suck.  Game 3 in the league, top 2 vs a set sent me packing early.  This past Friday, I held J10, flopped trips, and lost to the BB who wound up having AJ.  I keep running into bad situations. 

Sunday was another tournament, freezeout.  Again, I started out playing really well, picking my spots and going after pots.  No major confrontations.  The first time I get my stack in the middle I get it in good, flop a set, vs top 2 pair, vs a flush draw.  I lose and was crippled, which basically sent me packing.  We wound up playing a cash game afterwards which I was +80 in.  FINALLY posting something positive when it seemed like I was negative FOREVER! 

Tournaments are frustrating and I need to let it stop bugging me.  I want to do so well in the WSOP this year and I think playing so many tournaments prior to the series will be beneficial in the long run.  I feel my game is sharp but at the same time, I know I'm letting too many things bug me and it does affect my play.  I have a cash game scheduled this week and I need to play that session at optimal levels.  I need to take it slow and I know things will come to me and I will make that big score.

Wish me luck!
