2007 BSOP announced

It's that time of the year again, and the BCM series of poker makes it's annual return. This year will consist of a series of events ranging of all different types of games culminating with the main event. The first event will be a NL event and will be sometime early next week. Check back for more updates regarding the BSOP. One nice bonus is that I will be doing a live broadcast through camtasia for all the events so we encourage all readers to play.

Getting it together, kinda

I've kinda made a few conclusions and am gonna use the rest of June to set myself up for a good July. Looking at June by itself looks ugly, but overall this year has been great poker-wise, so I am not gonna beat myself up over having a break-even month. Every poker player goes through ups and downs and if someone tells you otherwise they are being very naive. So far I've only netted a thunderous $250 profit in June but I'm oddly content with it. Instead of trying to run up what I have online I am gonna make a focused effort on grinding a bankroll smartly. Maybe it'll be kinda fun to grind it back up correctly in a weird way, who knows. Tonight I played a bunch of $50 sngs and actually had fun beating them up. I am gonna continue playing them til I have about $2k online and then get back to the $10os. This way I'll give myself a chance to get my game back together and get more confident again by beating up on inferior opponents. Hopefully it will get me back into a groove and I will be able to put together a few K in profit before June is said and done. I definitely have a strong motivation to succeed at the tables whereas a couple weeks ago my focus lied away from the tables. I think finding a balance is the key... Anyway, kinda rambling, but just wanted to update on where I stand. I have no shame dropping down til things get better and I have 20+ buyins to play at a level.

Not possible to run worse

But I'm fine with it. I am running completely horrible now and even when I sit down and really focus on bringing my A game which is more then enough to beat these mentally challenge $100 and $200 sit and go players, I can't overcome all the BS that I am facing. I know it's temporary and I'll be crushing again soon enough but I just have to patiently ride out this wave of total bullshit. Probably quitting for the night again and gonna keep making right decisions tomorrow when I play.
