More of the same

Two days ago I played golf with Ozone and Lief Force.  I owned all.  I shot a career best 58 (par is 36) and got my first ever birdie and second par.  I was pretty stoked.  I even won credit card roulette twice.

I headed to the TI head hunters and poker remains the same.  I took a 5-outer on the river for 80% of my stack and for the third straight HH tourney, I was the first out at the final table (and no bounties.)

Today, I played in the Golden Nugget $240 NL HE tourney.  The fields are just stupid soft with a better structure than any other place in Vegas this summer.  The only drawback… the dealers are AWFUL and the floor isn’t much better.  This is the same as last year.

I never had less than 50 BBs the entire tournament until level 11.  I was a top 5 stack for nearly the whole tourney and once back from dinner, only 53 of 202 remained.  I ran QQ into AA against the table’s 2nd biggest stack which took me down to an average stack.  I muscled back and then took a gutterball on the river for 1.5x the average stack.  I fought back AGAIN back to average before I picked up TT in the SB, got reraised by the BB and shoved.  He was pot committed to call with K,Q and like most tourneys I play, the first time I’ll all-in is the time I bust.  That pot was for 2x the average stack.  Just truly sick.  I busted 40th.

I really just want to quit poker.
