Blah blah blah. Just a crap day one. I had 8.9K in chips going into day 2. We started with 30.

It really bugs me that in the Main Event at the WSOP this year and PCA I got crap table draws and just nothing going for me. All around me are online qualifiers doing idiotic things. Both of my big 10ks in the last six months are just in complete silence, threebet/fourbet triple barrel competitions.

Every time I play there are some plays that would make you go "wow" but the same instinct betrays me at the end of the day. I get tired and I make stupid plays. Yesterday I was four for five on my "wow that play is out of line" decisions, but at the end of the day I made one really dumb call down and it cost me most of my chips.

I am never threebetting anyone light again. It's the nectar of retards in this game. It never works for me ever. I threebet exactly twice yesterday, both bluffs (that's right I never got a hand worth threebetting for value over 10 hours) and both times I got shoved on. I fourbet twice with air, and that worked. I guess fourbetting is the new threebet.

Overall, it was just a frustrating day. I flopped a straight and checkraised most of my chips on the turn with the lock, and then had the board pair and complete the flush draw on the river. I bet/folded for value anyway, because I assumed the guy was still calling me with two pair, and because if I checked and he shoved I didn't know if I could fold. When he shoves with no fold equity I know I can just drop it. He even did the deep sigh thing, "wooooow, golly gee...all right I'm all in." I'm fine bet/folding the river, he seemed to think I was a spaz, I could even see him calling one pair.

Just was annoying, if that hand holds I'm close to 60k at that point, above average going into day 2. I guess I just I have to pray for a card rush on day 2 or go final table the 5k side event again.I was happy with how I played until the last twenty minutes. I was really jittery getting to the table, since I hadn't played in a while, but I calmed down really quickly and got into the zone. I really enjoyed playing, even though the whole day was so damn frustrating.

I didn't play today, on Sunday. I wanted to enjoy the Bahamas a little more than grind. Even though I won two 100rs in the PCA lobby last year on the same night I really do not like playing on the road. It seems dumb to be in the Bahamas and to not hang out.

My girlfriend and I have gone to the beach both days we were here. It was really relaxing going for a dip in the Carribean before playing a 10k. The white sand and crystal clear blue water is a trip. We also got the time to do some orbits on the lazy river, ride our innertubes down some awesome rides, drink some pina coladas, and just generally chill.

Looking at a full moon right now from my balcony. Think it might be time for a Kalik.
