Seeing Double

Looking at the title of this post, you are probably thinking I have some sort of vision problem and that I really need to get that checked out soon. But wait... NO! you're wrong and seeing double in this case is somewhat good and somewhat bad depending on the perspective you are looking at the devious seeing problem from.

Anyways, I played my first full schedule online in a long while. Starting off the session, I just about wanted to throw my laptop out the window but considering I'm downstairs underground that isn't possible. Yes, I'm thinking clearly. I busted out of the first few satellites I played and busted out of the huge $26 MTT on tilt in an easy squeeze with 18 big blinds and pocket nines and a last the original raiser has pocket kings and the flat caller has pocket queens. No dice on the 2 outer and I'm done there. In this same time, I'm playing the $3 re-buy and I'm just pumping money in to the tournament. I can't win a flip to save my live and even ended the re-buy period in for at least $50+ and last then minimum chips because I lost the last hand before the re-buy period ended and I had like 300 chips left, Fuck my life! Things do change tho...

I start up the Daily Doubles on Tilt which I almost didn't play, but I tilt play the games. If you're not familiar with the Double tournaments on Full Tilt, there is a prize pool that is separate from the prize pool of the tournament. If you double cash (3% shared by everyone), double final table (10% shared by everyone), double win (75%), or have the best finish (3%) in the two combine tournaments you earn a percent of the separate prize pool which is indicated by the numbers in the parentheses. And turned out well. Even the $3 re-buy went well. I built up big stacks in both the doubles and was even in the top 10 in each event with around 100 people left. I basically got 30th and 15th in the events respectively after running like a 3 legged race horse for the last hour of both tournaments which doesn't sound too great but it was the best overall finish and earned me $701 plus $25 for the double cash as well. I cashed in the $3 re-buy but that's not exciting and was only a min-cash.

Looking forward, I'm probably going to put in a couple more sessions online and play a big Sunday schedule as well. Hopefully, I can hit a big score in the coming weeks because I can feel it coming and thought it was last night but a last it was not to be. I think I'm playing well which is a big key to poker even if you're not playing well if you think you are confidence can carry you a long well in this game. Cards can help, too.

I'm done... for now...
