I had a crazy, epic Day 3 of the European Poker Tour in Malta,
but unfortunately ended up busting in 65th place.
It’s moments like these that one wonders why they bother with tournaments. Winning seems so impossible, so out of your control.
Even when hit with a lightening bolt of good fortune as I was – shoving with J8ss on a bluff into KK, and getting there – I still came up short.
It’s never the hands you win that stick with you, but the ones you lose that haunt you the longest. Ego blinds us when we’re winning – I won because I deserve to is the underlying belief – and so it is only in losing that we are humbled to ask the questions that are necessary for improvement.
There are many ways to compete in poker: for each different game one can specialize in tournaments, cash games, online or live.
I’ve never been stay in one place too long. While No Limit Hold’em has always been my game of choice, I’ve bounced back and forth between all four ways of playing it.
In a couple days I’ll be playing the IPT Grand Final in Saint Vincent (like Aspen, only Italy). I’m truly excited. Pagano Events puts on amazing tournaments, and with PokerStars as the sponsor there’s a seal of prestige attached to it and a huge field.
I’ve taken the past two weeks off, enjoying time with my family in the South of France (you can see its beauty in the pictures below).
