Well this World Series is different for me. Last year was a hunker down boot camp and this one has just been frustrating. Doing well, making money but I am no longer here for the learning curve, I’m here to win, I’m here to make my case. This structure with the small chip start just makes it tough.

Played the six handed event the other day. Michael Mizrachi was late to the table and started hammering. I knew I was good when he overbet the river and got half his stack, got the remaining ones on the next hand when I knew he was on a major tilt. Nice to take advantage of that. Then this next hand happened, small blind, big blind, unraised pot. (Yes, my friend Chris Bigler has warned me of unraised pots and this is a perfect example of why). I am the big blind, small bling completes. I have Q 2 of hearts. Flop 2 2 Q. We both check, turn a K, he bets I smooth. River a Jack. I’m waiting for this guy to catch up, two pair, straight, something as I have the boat. He bets 400, I make it 1200 and he makes it 2600. I call of course only to see K 2 for a higher boat. The odds six handed. Just bad luck. Didn’t go broke which no one at the table could believe. I had to burst out laughing ….but that’s how the Series has gone thus far.
