Sunday Night - Monday Morning

It's 3:00 a.m. here in humid Puerto Plata. 22 degrees - feels like 32.

Tournament today was hard. Accumulated chips early on - and then lost two hands almost back to back that left me nauseous - felt like throwing up after being knocked out or crying and we all know there is no crying in poker!

What a sick game though - love to love it and love to hate it! Played well - could not win my one race AKs against TT - I flopped an A he turned a T. Then the worst ....with KQ suited - all-in called by J8 off - he hit an 8 on the river... hence that feeling of wanting to puke.... after that it was just merely a matter of time before i was out given the blinds were so high.

Oh well.... that's poker as they say (the bastards!)...arrgh. ;-)

Back to the cash games I went and CRUSHED the table. So after two full days and 900$ in tournament fees I have $60 less than what I arrived with - - not bad! So i am over my tournament bust out and only hope that i will not get as unlucky as I was yesterday and today. But that said....luck does play some....in this crazy game. At least I am getting my money in good.

Now to bed. I am hoping for sun tomorrow. Today was full of rain and clouds and the rest of the week does not look much better except for tomorrow.

We'll see.
