POKERSTARS SUNDAY $109

I guess this picture pretty much describes the way i was feeling when i played in the $109 today. I felt pretty fucking much like i was gonna make some solid plays and what not. But what ended up going down was the fact that i made two key mistakes in two rather easy hands.

As a lot of my friends know and realize is that i am very text book poker. I do all the studying and read all the data i can. I also as well take a lot of notes on players and do what i can to go with my reads. Well today in the $109 i made two dum mistakes in a very strong field; That included the like of Annette_15 and a wide host of others.

While playing at this level you have to play as mistake free a possible; And that is exactly what i did not do. Instead i made calls on the end when i knew it was for value. And i allowed players to see the turn to cheaply while trying to get value as well.

There is a time and a place for each; And both times i made horrible decisions. Right now i am registered for the $55 $50,000 that will be the last tournament for me for about a week or so. I have family and friends coming down on Tuesday; So i hope to play as mistake free as i can and make the final table.

Here are the two hands that i played pretty badly. I will makes comments on this later as the $50,000 is only a few minutes away!!!
