First one was scheduled for Saturday at 1pm on Jungle Poker. This is a new poker site that was having its "Grand Opening" on Saturday. For the past few weeks they have been running an "Earn your bankroll" promotion and running freerolls to get traffice to their site. In addition to the money you could win in these freerolls, they were also offering a "ticket" into this WSOP event if you were to make the money in one of the freerolls. I did and I registered. When 1pm came around I was logged into the site, and as the tournament was about to start the site crashed. I waited around for two hours seeing if It would open back up or if I would get an email as to the status. I had a bracelet race at 5pm on FTP so I decided to go get a nap in. As soon as I laid down an email was sent that it was starting at 4pm, so I missed it. What BS.
Second one, I had a good nap, cause I slept till 6:21pm and it started at 5pm. I JUMPED out of bed and saw I had been blinded down to 390 chips. GREAT. I worked so hard on getting that token and I over sleep. Go figure. But I double up, and I double up again, and again! This is when I know Im doomed. You cant get that lucky that many times and have any hands hold up at the FT. But I figured why wait till the final table? And did this.....

I am an idiot.
Sunday, I decide to use my other token and play in a NLHE bracelet race at 9pm. This was a total fiasco. I was getting ran over by my table. You know when nothing goes your way, every time you raise you get re raised, your hands never hit, youre constantly having to lay a hand down cause its early and not worth battling with a donk. So finally THIS happens, but it was fitting given the circumstances....
I shoulda known to push that flop, but went for the check raise instead.

Today I get the pleasure of going off my allergy meds because I am going to the allergist with Anna on Friday. Oh joy. To make matters worse, Im going to the ZOO with Mayas class on Thursday, that should be interesting... zoo animals with no allergy meds.
THEN to top it all off, Friday the mother in law from hell arrives. I must of done something horribly wrong in a former life. And if you think your Mother in law is bad, I bet I can top it. Stories to come, stay tuned!!
Ya know, i've been thinking about that hand a lot since yesterday, and I think no matter what you do there, the AJ is gonna call, preflop, after the flop, even tho drawing to ONLY a king, I have no idea what he was thinking. But I do not think you could have done it any different, so try not to let it bother you. Your bad run is starting to even out, as you said, its time for it to turn into a good run now, we BOTH know you have, and CAN, and WILL do it. What a week you have coming up...I feel bad for you this weekend, I remember some of the awful stories, and no Harry Potter movie to get you out of the house this time either :( (maybe legion poker?)
