Limiting the damage , event 6 !

So in a bid to limit my early bad run in tournaments, I thought
Id be able to minimise the damage by playing event 6, the $1500
limit tournament. After all in limit you cant really lose all your
chips in the first hand ! Id have to be able to get a few hours of
good tournament play in.

I get off to a steady start, tho after making a couple of marginal
calls, and having someone turn a gutshot straight against my top
pair my chips start to slip below par. Then a key pot develops
against a shorter stack. I have q10 suited in the small blind,
against the aggressive short stack's raise. I call and the big
blind calls. The flop comes k-10-3, i bet , the bb fold and the
preflop raiser raises. The turn comes a Q. Im confident that
he didnt have a King on the flop, or much of it all , I bet and
he goes all in for his last few chips. He flips over j-9 and im in
trouble ! No river house, and im in big trouble. I manage
to push someone out of a pot with Js on an Ace high board,
to steal a couple of chips. Then 2 hands later I have Ks,
I 3 bet it and the guy to my left 4 bets it. I know he doesnt
have aces so im feeling good. Tho the flop comes Q high all
spades, i check call down worried that he has QQ, and
sure enuff he has 3 Qs :( Great read but not much you can do, with
Kings there. Few hands later its all over, and my 2nd wsop event is in the bin.

I play the FT 1K tourney and stars tourneys, more bad beats,
and by 8pm there is no more poker to play. Luckily i managed
to fit a swim in the middle of the day, so it wasnt a total loss !

Tomorrow $1k rebuy event ?! After a week , I hope something
turns around soon. 6 weeks of this could be testing.

Alternative ways to make money, play chinese poker, blackjack,
keno or golf course hustling !

Tomorrow my Frenchy friend comes over to stay, he should at
least provide some comedy.

Daniel Negreanu is laying the odds of 5 to 1 that he will win a
WSOP event this year. He is playing quite a few events, but those
are very juicy odds.
