Well, after moaning about tourneys, I placed 25th in the 10k tourney yesterday. Played pretty well, the only mistake I made was paying off the flush when I couldn't get away from my trip aces. Still, $75 is nothing to to sneeze at (Where did that saying come from and what does it mean?) Little boost to my little bankroll.
Since then, I've come close to the money in 2 tourneys, despite being card dead in both of them. I'm encouraged because I seem to be playing well. With a few cards, I could start cashing again regularly. I played in the $10 nl buy in tourney and did very well. But my only mistake was a doozy, costing me the money. I tried to bluff someone who had a str8. He called awful quick, I should have given up after the one try, but instead I raised again and killed my whole tourney. I call it a mistake because I could almost have folded my way into the money.
On a personal note, my diet has gone to hell the last couple of days. Just when I'm thinking my good eating and exercise are becoming a habit, a little stress sends me scurrying for the fried foods and soda. (Sigh) Still, there's no denying the progress I've made. The trick is to not let it discourage me, but hop back on my diet again and keep working at it. I need a way to deal with these eating habits that stress brings because there's no way of getting rid of the stress. Wish me luck, please.
