On The Road Again

I am headed to Chicago tomorrow for a $3k at Horseshoe Hammond, followed immediately by the Bay 101 Shooting Star WPT in San Jose, CA.

I have to give another shout out to Chris Moore. After winning the $10k Heads Up at the LAPC, he went deep into the money in the main event, leading the pack for much of the way. He would likely have made the final table if he had managed to win either of two key coinflips down the stretch.
This guy is an uncanny gambler. He crushes everything he touches - sportsbetting, online cash games, online tournaments, live tournaments, heads up, everything. I don't know of anyone, not ANYONE, that makes deep runs in big buy-in events as consistently as Toph.

I am lucky to have friends like Toph who I can talk to about poker. Talking with him and MasterJ and some other guys I have become acutely aware of my weaknesses as a tournament player. I am excited to have the opportunity to attack these weaknesses without too much pressure - excited to have the opportunity to play for fun and perfection rather than money. I am perpetually excited about the next tournament, the next stop on the circuit.
