PROMOTION

Not too much success at MTT of late as the ridiculous plays have reminded me of the crazy amount of luck required to go deep in these tournaments.

I finally put my squiggle to the bad Beat contract, being swayed in the end by an increase in my daily limit to $5,000.

We are moving towards the levels I want to be at and it has all happened very quickly indeed. Although it means I can play at much higher levels, I will move up slowly as I know that I still have a lot to learn to be at the standard of the top players.

I will be continuing with Strummer as my mentor and hopefully we will have more sessions in the future than we have to date. I also live in hope that in between sessions, we can actually communicate by skype text a little better than we have done so far. It can be quite a pain waiting a couple of days for a response when other mentors seems to answer me in seconds just like a mate would. A simple 'brb' is good enough for me, but I am finding being ignored altogether is not conducive to a feeling of being in a 'team'.

Monday is Rugrat's golf and poker day, so I will try to play a few MTT over the weekend to get into the swing of things. Although I have no doubt the evenig will go pretty much the same way as most of my 'live' events have lately. Start well, get drunk, finish poor, get more drunk, play some stt like a fool and... get more drunk. So apologies now to anyone reading this who is there on Monday!
