So, how did that PTQ go?
Well, let's review....
Friday afternoon I get a call, the product shipped for the San Diego PTQ had an incorrect address on it. Miki calls the carrier to try to get a correction, no deal. Then he calls back (at my request) to see if they will let him pick it up, and they say the driver will call him.
My nightmare PTQ that was moved at the last minute, ends up having 45 people. I needed 63 to break even. San Diego was worse. They had 44, and the driver never called so the product did not show up. I asked him to just buy some boxes off of the local vendor and use those.
But the local vendor did not show up either. Apparently not only was the vendor sick, but he had forgotten about it to begin with. Yay. So they had no vendor AND no product. Good lord. Any San Diego players that may be reading this. I apologize. :(
Honestly, life in "hard" mode sucks. I also had some big losing poker sessions this weekend, and will get some hand histories to start posting tomorrow here and on FCP.
Friday started with a great session ending up about 10BB on $2/$4. Saturday I donked it up and ended up DOWN 10BB on $2/$4. Sunday I decided to go back to being a super rock, but even when catching action on my monster hands, I suffered three nightmare suckouts (with them catching a 2, 3, and 3 outer respectively) than ended me another 10BB down in $2/4 AND 10BB down in $1/$2.
This does not bode well for Caribbean sun, as now I am basically down to $45 bucks in there, and have a ways to go to fill my promotion. Bleh. I really think I played well on Sunday, and super rock seems to be the way to go at those tables right now, but I can't afford to ride a negative variance much further on this site and come out profitable.
I'm reading State of Fear right now, and its interesting to see how much the push is to show Global Warming as basically a myth. Its hard to pull the fact from fiction novels sometimes, even with references, but I give the author some huge kudos for forcing a change of perception in American culture about this sort of thing.
Gen Con So Cal coming up this weekend. Wheee. Let's hope that goes well...

but who won the ptq dammit :)
So, Ray: Remind me again why you devote your time and money to running premiere events? :)
Pup: Scrubby Won
Mike: Because the prereleases make mad money, so I have to take the little hits for the big score.
