As advertised.
I'm definitely not gonna complain about the 3.7k score but damn I wanted to ship this. The 8k was looking juicy and the final table wasn't strong. With the schedule I play I'm not often in the running for an 8k score.
Oh well, moving on to tomorrow.

BBT5
No clue what that is? Hey no worries, I had no clue until recently either (huge thanks to Shabazz Jenkins for letting me know about it).
Go here to learn what it's all about (or click the banner on the right side of the page).
I was lucky enough to win The Mookie on Wednesday the 26th (the last qualifier) and then lucky enough to go on and get 5th in the Tournament of Champions last night for a $2,000 Bracelet Race Prize Package.
In the course of playing the BBT5 tourneys I met some really good players and some really awesome people. I was also turned on to BuddyDankRadio which broadcasts the BBT tourneys and is highly entertaining. BDR made my Monday and Wednesday night grind a lot easier.
So basically big thanks to Full Tilt for putting up the money, AlCantHang for organizing/running BBT (I think?), BDR, and all the cool people who participated... it was a lot of fun and I look forward to doing it again next year!

Just a Little Something More
ooooooo hi there readers of my blog :)
So tonight was a goot goot night imo. After last night's 3rd in the 15K 6max KO I was feeling pretty confident and ready for another session.
Tonight I took 6th in the $33 18k Guarantee on Stars for 1k. Then I took 3rd in the $10r 15k Guaranteed on full tilt for 1.7k. Then to top it off I took 2nd in the $75 20k Guarantee for a smooth 3.3K. I should have won the 20K. We were even in chips and we got it all in my AQdd to his AJo. KJxxx bluh. So w/e. Can't do anything about that.
I feel the relief I knew I'd feel right now.
K news time. Live Pokerz.
This Friday I'm playing a $360 satellite to the Heartland Poker Tour here in Mt. Pleasant, MI. The main event buyin is $1650 (which I won't pay directly) but I'll surely play the satty to get in. The Heartland Tour has televised FTs on VS so that would be awesome.
Also, on June 14th through the 17th I'll be in Vegas @ The Venetian playing three of their $330 Deepstack events on the 14th, 15th, and 16th. I also hope to grind the cash tables for a bit and make some there.
So weeeeeee just like that. I was down like 7 to 8k over a month and then in two nights I reach a new peak profit for the year of $25,117.00
Poker is such a sickkkkkkkkk sickkkkk game!!!!!!!!

Just a Little Something
Two nights ago I got 2nd in a late $33 6max on UB for just under 1k. Then last night I got 3rd in the $26 6max KO 15K guarantee on full tilt for 1.7k.
These scores put a moderate dent in my downswing but what they do more importantly is give me my confidence back. They let me know I CAN win flips late. They let me know I CAN hold when a 4:1 fav. They let me know I CAN win the occasional important 60/40.
So when I start my session tonight I'll have some extra confidence going in.

Sedation
The blog title is a bit of a joke.
I'm starting a medication today that is supposed to be very sedating and possibly make me incredibly sleepy or be "out of it" for a few days.
The half-joke with the blog title is regarding my recent poker results. With the current downswing I'm on, perhaps I won't mind being "sedated".
Since my peak yearly profit of $23,836 on April 16th (twenty-four days ago) I'm down $4,867 to $18,969. With my average buyin being at $45, that puts my downswing at 108 buyins. This has occurred over the course of 222 tourneys.
Also, I ran my "Stepping My Way to The WSOP" plan for six days, costing me $450. I didn't earn a single Step 5 ticket. And while this is normal variance, I'm definitely putting this plan on an indefinite hold until my MTT situation turns around. Winning a Main Event seat is secondary to my living of playing tourneys online.
Well sorry about the depressing post. This game is incredibly unglamorous sometimes, just like life. I'm trying my hardest to make it through times like these, something I've struggled a great deal with in the past.

Rough Patch
This is the way poker goes. There are good times and there are bad times. I'm down about 70 buyins over my last ~150 games.
In a five-day period, I finished 11th in the Nightly Seventy Grand on Stars, 10th in the 50/50 on Full Tilt, then 60th or so in the Double Deuce (after being 1/72).
As if that weren't frustrating enough I then proceeded to cash just 3 of my last 57 MTTs.
This is another shining example of why BR management is so important and why the long run is everything in this game.
Well my session is starting. Hope to break out of this soon. GL.
