Nothing has changed. I can't get anything at all going in these tournaments. I have come to loathe Caesar's Indiana. It's a terrible institution frequented by some of the weakest members of American society. The poker room is abysmal. Some of the tables are too small and some are too big. They had us sitting in these stiff wooden chairs today which sucked. The worst part is they split the tournament into two sections, one of which is upstairs in the smoke-filled, extremely loud slots area. The tournament staff is okay and the dealers are pretty shitty in general. I feel like I go on tilt as soon as I step on that godforsaken boat. Everything else (crew, Holiday Inn, New Albany, Louisville) is great, though the weather got shitty today.

PiMaster got third in the PLO yesterday. Matt had a small cash in one of the $500 tourneys. That's it for our crew so far.

I sort of think playing high-stakes online cash games is pretty much the worst way to prepare for these smaller buy-in, redneck-filled tournaments. I sort of have a cash-game feel to my play and it's hurting me. I'm also making some good-read/unsuccesful play kind of moves against idiots who just don't know how to play. Mostly though I'm just not picking up enough hands to win.

Now just six days away from my main event victory.
