Bust, Bust, Bust...thats tournament poker

Well, it's been a disapointing last few days.

Mostly because I was out early in the 5k PLO w/ rebuys. I was running good (up to 60k) untill I doubled up JC Tran when he hit a five outer on the river with a garbage hand he was playing just because it was the last hand before rebuys were over. It didn't quite knock me down far enough to rebuy so I had to settle for a double add-on. I never won another pot.

The $2500 six handed was short and not too sweet for me. I went out trying to run Robert Williamson of pocket aces.

Next for me is the $1500 No Limit. I look at this as almost like playing a sattelite, with day 2 being the tournament. It is pretty hard to play much poker with the small stacks in these tournaments.

The following day is one of my highlighted events, $1500 PLO w/rebuys. I am really looking forward to it. The play in the 5k rebuy was pretty wild so I am hoping it will be even beter in this one.
