See the inverse relationship between me winning at poker and me blogging? Cash big on Day 2, no blogs for a few days, then back to the daily blogging grind\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

Even after a high like early Monday morning<\/strong><\/a>, a week of losing is a bit frustrating, not the least of which is because I was in the last of the\u00a0High Roller satellites<\/strong> yesterday evening and managed to get A<\/span>\u2666<\/span><\/span> 7<\/span>\u2666<\/span><\/span><\/span> all in with 20bb from the button against kings in the big blind (not just ripping it in, it was my raise and 4-bet shove), and flop a flush draw, turn a straight draw, and whiff the river. So, no High Roller for me this morning; my bankroll management has<\/em> gotten better<\/strong> since I have a job.<\/p>\n

The series so far, coming into the final weekend: $4,900 in buyins<\/strong> (including 8 tournaments, 4 satellite tournaments, and one cash sesion). On the plus side: one $575 voucher for the Main Event<\/strong> and more than $10K in cash<\/strong>. Add in the room, meals, etc. and you can see why I’m not buying into the High Roller directly. Way easier to do these numbers when they’re not red.<\/p>\n

So while all of the crushers are competing for the $150K guarantee today, I’ll be slaving away in the $40K guarantee salt mines. No giant payout at the end of that one, but I won’t be compromising my hard-earned profit.<\/p>\n

Plus, I got word last night from\u00a0Molly Mossey<\/strong><\/a> that I should be getting my piece of her\u00a0EPT Barcelona<\/strong> cash soon (the check is in the mail!) so the summer has been pretty decent for a retired poker player\/writer.<\/p>\n

I was conflicted about whether I wanted to shell out the money for the Big Bounty tournament or wait for the Big O, so I put out a poll on Twitter. The results were tied, so I went with the first one, as it happened, I got to play both!<\/p>\n

Yesterday was frustrating as\u00a0Event #17 $40K GTD NLHE Big Bounty<\/strong> was a return to card deadedness. I opened A<\/span>\u2665<\/span><\/span> K<\/span>\u2665<\/span><\/span><\/span> got a call from the blinds and folded to an aggressive open on a 9-high flop. Opened tens under the gun and got four callers with a king and a queen on the flop and folded to a bet. Those were the only two decent hands I saw in the first couple of hours. I played A<\/span>\u2660<\/span><\/span> 2<\/span>\u2660<\/span><\/span><\/span> and managed to take a small pot from A<\/span>x<\/span><\/span> K<\/span>x<\/span><\/span><\/span> when I paired my deuce. I tweeted out that my VPIP was less than 5% and\u00a0Angela Jordison\u00a0<\/strong>replied from the other side of the room:<\/p>\n
