Alright gang I am back at it again. I cashed another two times over the weekend and made another final table but no top three to brag about. Crap! I gotta tell you that this game really makes my stomach churn sometimes. I mean I have been playing excellent poker for around thirty days and still cannot get there for some reason. On the other hand I have gone on streaks where I could do no wrong for two weeks and cleaned up four final tables.

What can you do?

Keep getting your cards in with the best hand. That is what you do. Continue to grind and believe in your game and stay mentally tough even when things don’t go your way. Sometimes that is easier said than done but we all have to endure some growing pains in this crazy game.

The World Series of Poker Circuit is in town at the Hammond Casino in Indiana. I will be playing in event #13 this coming Sunday November 2nd at noon. The structure is pretty good and I am expecting a field of around 500 players. This is the last tournament in the series before it moves on to the next stop. The buy-in is $350 and the structure is as follows:

$6000 starting chips

40 min levels

$50 / $25 blinds

A nice format indeed and I look forward to getting into my first WSOP Circuit tournament and taking it down. I figure first prize will be around $40,000. A very nice pay day for most of the field. I don’t figure too many pros are going to be hanging around for this one either so the field should be fairly soft. I will post as soon as I return from the tournament.
