Well, after losing a half dozen games in a row, I’ve been mathematically eliminated from each of the 4 pools that I’m in.  I still had a chance to win the $250 pool on 2+2 if Mizzou met either Oklahoma or Villanova in the NC.  Oh well, it’s all over.  It could have been worse.  Mizzou could have beat North Carolina in the NC and crushed my spirits while leaving me just short of 1st in a handful of pools.  Thankfully, that didn’t happen and I can now go back to hating on Mizzou until the next time I take them deep into the NCAA Tournament.

Poker has been a bit of a struggle since I won the 22.5 on Tilt a couple weeks ago.  I just can’t seem to get anything going.  I’ve been grinding a lot of 100 & 200NL, but I just can’t scratch anything together.  Because of this, it’s unlikely that I’m going to play tournaments tomorrow.  I’ll most likely go to Commerce and grind a session of cash games online before I go.

Hailey and I are going to her dad’s for dinner tonight and then meeting up with friends at the Copper Bucket.  It should be a fun night, but I’m going to take it easy on the booze.  I want to wake up tomorrow refreshed and put in a good day of poker.  I really want to grind out 20,000 of earnings by the time I go to Vegas for the WSOP.  This is a bit of a stretch, but I should definitely be able to do so if you add in backing and coaching.  I’m really going to put in a lot of volume on Poker.com and go to Commerce at least 2 times a week up until I go to Vegas.  This should be a good mixture and insure me the best possible chance of reaching those goals.  I don’t have a lot of room for error considering I want to play 20kish worth of buyins this summer.  I’ll have to stay on my best behavior and wouldn’t mind a little bit of good fortune along the way.
