“Will the cards ever turn?” That is the question I have been asking myself for the past two weeks. Lately it has been hand after hand after hand late in the tournament with the best hand and I end up sent to the rail. You would think my hand would hold up at some point before the end of 2008.

lol

Seriously, it is what it is. I am playing very good poker but right now my hands are not holding up worth anything. I have been run down after all the money goes in five out of eight times this week alone. The other times I have lost on one outers and two outers. These things happen in poker but it sure is tough medicine to take sometimes. On the other hand I have been very pleased that despite having to endure some tough beats that my game has not change one inch. I have stayed with my principles and kept my head on straight throughout this bumpy ride and still reaped the benefits of good solid aggressive play.

That’s what you are supposed to do. Play your game and get your chips in good! So, although a bit bruised I am far from discouraged and as I have stated before I wear my bad beats as a badge of honor. Remember, bad players don’t get bad beats.
