Message: [QUOTE="Matt Vaughan, post: 2990791, member: 34747"] Trying to revive this thread is a harder task than just posting a single badly-played hand I guess. But I've known that since the beginning. I've been slacking on this thread, no doubt, but it's actually partially because of how much I've been playing lately. Every weekend I'm playing live, and several weeknights per week I'm playing online. Today I've got an MSPT in Shakopee, MN. If I bust on Day 1 I'll drive home early tomorrow and play the $450 main event of the BDPO (Bovada's biggest tournament series, I believe). I'd honestly much rather make Day 2 and just final table a dang MSPT again. I feel that I played extremely well in the last one, but got a really shitty table draw after losing several big pots at my first table. The only hand I felt I may have misplayed was my bustout hand, but at least that one was definitely close either way and I felt okay about it with the reads I had on my opponents. That table had at least 6 players I'd played with before (not necessarily bad), and I believe at least 4 had won an MSPT before. The rest had all been on MSPT final tables before. My resume was among the weaker ones. It's tough to get a draw that bad when it's still Day 1, so I'm hoping that this time around I'll run a bit better in that regard. I'm planning to keep up my play-good in tournaments streak. Online has really been helping, but it's live where I feel I have something to prove - especially in these soft events. It's not about deserving it because I'm the "better player." It's about playing better than everyone in that room, and letting the cards fall how they may. At my A-game, I'm among the best players on this tour, so if I can play that consistently, the results will follow. After this, I don't think I'll be playing any more live tournaments until the WSOP, where I'll be planning to fire a pretty big package. Details still being ironed out a bit, but I'll likely have ~20k for my package, selling around 60%. I'm planning to do it in a bit of an unorthodox way, and sell varying amounts of my action for each tournament. It makes the math more complicated so I'm sorting through that to make sure there are no mistakes. Hard to believe the WSOP is only a few weeks away, and I'll be there in about six. I've never cashed in a WSOP event, but I've only played around five lifetime. My series will at least double that, and potentially triple that, so I think I've got a good shot at finally breaking through for a cash at minimum, if not a really deep run. I didn't mean to make this post so long and rambling, but there you go. Poker is swingy af for me, but with the way I play, couple with some mistakes here and there, that's always gonna be true. I'm really excited to keep the grind going and see where I can go from here. Wish me luck today, and I'll see you all next time. [/QUOTE]
