The Streak Is Over!!

Well, I finally won a tournament today! I don't think I've put one under my belt since last Summer though I do have a few final tables and a 2nd place finish since then. It wasn't a big field, but it was fun. It was a $200+16 at Doyle's Room, with 34 people. Top 6 got paid and I walked with $2700. Not my biggest cash (in fact for a $200+16, it was a relatively small cash), but it felt good to win. I completly served the competition and once we got down to 5 handed, I was in complete control. Of course, I win the tournament with complete junk where my 93o hit trip 3s on the flop. If I didn't win with junk, then it wasn't worth winning. The best part was the other guy had 97 on the 733 flop. I think he finally got sick of me pushing everyone around and called my reraise all-in on a Q turn.

There is a WSOP Circuit Event starting this Friday at Ceasar's in Vegas that I might go to now since I can play some of the smaller events. Plus the cash games are juicy. I just need to get a lot of my shit done before I go, so probably will head down there next week if I get all set. The championship event is on May 10th, so maybe I will spend my birthday there.

AFTERWORD: I really didn't feel like this deserved another post, so I will just add it here. I decided to watch a 50/100 game before I went to bed. It ended up being real fishy with two players on supreme tilt and I sat down. Man did I get some rough beats! I basically broke even and made one bad play (I called down with a decent A high when I was sure the guy had a big pair, but I wanted to make sure my read was good because I had made that laydown a few times already). I don't think I will sit in that game for a while just in case I might self-destruct, but I am pretty sure I can beat it. Even when the tilted players left, I felt that I had an edge over the table. Play was better than the 30/60 tables I've played, but not that much. Maybe over the summer I can move up for good, but right now I am all about growing my bankroll comfortably.
