Bad Rut, Bad Attitude

I am not playing well the past couple of weeks when I get time to play. The best examples of this are the WPTFSOP events I have been speaking about the last few weeks.

In the PLHE tourney last night, I chipped up a bit early, but then decided to call off half my stack with one pair against a solid player. Not a good idea.

I then got short and pushed with K 2, only to have the other shorty (who knows it's chip up or fold there so I am not faulting his play) call with 10 8 and hit an 8.

I wish I could say I am running bad, but in fact I am not focused and I am not playing well. I hope the tailspin will end soon.

The result is me being very down on myself, even though I am ahead of the game in this series with my cashes. The fact that I surrendered the WPTFSOP lead to the S/8 specialist with only a few tourneys left to play has me bummed. I may have closed myself out of the prize pool unless I do REALLY well in the other remaining events, as the players right behind me are pretty good, too. I'll have to hope to taunt Tony into tilt since he has no chat ;), play much better than I have been, and get insanely lucky. OK, maybe not.
