It`s A Funny Old Game . . .

I was waiting for some friends to turn up this afternoon so I signed up for a SNG. Sure enough not far into the game they turned up but I played it through and ended up winning. Spent the afternoon with them and then had a busy evening schedule of poker. First up was the 5h Street weekly buy-in where I bubbled. Then I had a Poker Forum Challenge freeroll for K9 with the top 5 qualifying for the multi-forum event later this month. No long story, I finished 2nd. If my AK had held up vs Murry`s AQ I feel I would have won but that`s poker as they say. Murry beat me in the HU his KK holding up against my AQ. Then in the 5th Street freeroll I managed to bubble again.

I was pretty disappointed until I thought through the day. A 1st, a 2nd and two 4th places. When you think about it it`s actually pretty decent. However I`m glad I was disappointed, it shows I now have high expectations for my play. I don`t feel that my expectations are unrealistic either. I play against some very good players and I feel that I hold my own. I`m by no means the best, many of them are much better players than I am, but I`m getting there. . .

Hey,
Thanks for dropping by my blog. The great thing about the BPT is I have yet to meet a Free Roll Whore among the regulars. Shane has done a really good job of weeding them out. I just wanted to toss out a freeroll to keep the interest up. It would be nice if a few more BPTers would do the same and build some more interest.
Awesome soundtrack BTW

Hey Mouse, nice Blog and you are right, you are one of the best players at K9...a 1st a 2nd and 2 4th finishes is a great day for sure.

The only thing is when you mentionned the better players than you at K9, you forgot to say that I was the best of the lot LMAO.

Well played Mouse, always enjoy your game. That AQ was a big break for me. Nice showings in your other games. I agree with your assesment, I always want to win. The thing is, when you sit back and analyze the numbers the results are pretty darn good. That dosen't change the fact thsat you want to win every game. Keep up the good work.

Nice playing Mouse, you are very consistent. That was a big break for me with AQ for sure. I think the same way as you, I am hard on myself if I don't win but when I analyze the numbers the results are there. Always strive to win and improve. Look forward to our next "Cat+ Mouse".
