We had our 2nd to last WSOP tourney last Saturday. I’m now in 2nd place and we are awarding 5 seats to the $1000 event the last week of June. I’m guaranteed a seat. How do I know that? I just know. There is absolutely no way I can be dropped down to 6th place no matter what happens.

.

I have 301 points. 6th place has 279. That’s a 22 point difference. We had a bad turnout last week as is usual for the last couple months of the league. It seems people who know they have no shot don’t bother coming.

.

That’s fine with me. All they’re doing is solidifying the top finisher’s standings. The less people that show up means fewer points awarded to the final table. We had only 38 people show up and I expect fewer next month. Even if 38 people showed up next month, the halfway point would be 19.

.

If you played absolutely no hands whatsoever and just blinded out of  the tournament you would finish roughly at the halfway point. If I play ZERO hands AND 6th place wins the tournament AND places 5, 4, and 3 are there with her at the top, then, yeah, I won’t get a seat.

.

Ain’t happnin.

.

Why are there only five seats being awarded? We have 30 members. That’s a pool of $6k. Exactly enough for six $1k seats.

.

Because there is at least one person, hereinafter referred to as ‘cocksucker’, who probably won’t be paying his $200 entry fee. His name will be published here if that actually happens so no one does any gambling business with him in the future.

.

There are others who still owe money towards their entry, but I’m confident they’ll bone up. If not, fuck their sorry asses. Names go here. Right here. On this blog. The one that no one reads anyway.

Poker Update: Easy game. Graph is looking like a shuttle take-off for now. There are swings, of course, it’s poker, but the trend has got me a bit concerned. It is rising way too rapidly than I expected. That’s good. But, when it normalizes, I’m worried about how I’ll feel. We shall see. For now, I’m on cloud fucking nine because I cannot lose…..

.

April may be a turning point for me. We’ll see. I have a feeling this is the month that I say goodbye permanently to 50NL. I’m certainly trying. I shot 100NL regularly, but it’s just not sticking. More on that later, but I’m just not assimilating well with the increased 3Betting and Flop Floating/Fuck You turn leading bullshit. For you non-poker short bus riders, there’s more aggression as you move up and you need to adjust. I’m trying to find the balance between ‘i think ur full of shit’ and ‘i know ur full of shit’.

.

The former loses money. The latter wins it. There’s ur poker lesson for the week.
