Nice start to April and a bad bubble
I've been playing well on the NL tables and am up about $300 there so far. Add in a cash in a $30 multi table for a 2nd place $330 win and I've got a nice start to April.
The nice start was almost even nicer. I played a $24+2 tournament where the top 2 players one a buy in to a $1500 WSOP event and $500 cash. 200 players or so and top 11 make the money. I gathered a nice stack in the middle of the tournament and was about 10th in chips with 80 players left. I then went card dead. I barely got any playable hands and was even tighter than I normally was. I was 20 of 40. 25 of 30. Until I was truly the short stack with 20 left. Blinds were going up and I had about 10000 chips with 20 left. Blinds were 300/600. But still no playable hands. People kept raising before me or going all in. I couldn't even steal blinds. So 400/800 rolls around with antes and I have 6500 chips. Blinds are about to come and UTG+1 I have JTo. Seeing my dwindling stack I push and hope I can have it fold around. AQ calls me and all rags fall and I'm done in 16th place. Right move? I say yes but I keep having this nagging thought in my head that I should have waited for an ace or king. Oh well. I'll get it next time.
That's about it for now. I WILL win an entry to the WSOP this year. This I command. And may the flop be with you...always!

I think I wouldve waited for the blinds to come or even to go 1 more orbit before moving in.
Ive been moving in alot with mediocre hands when my M was getting low and have been getting killed...miss getting paid by a few spots. Need to adjust again.
Good Luck with your entry to the WSOP.
