Sloe Times

I didn't think it was possible. Here I am a bachelor for a week (wife and boy are at a friends help her paint and pack for a move) and a little procrastination on top of some unforeseen complications at work have kept me pretty busy. Too busy to play cards. This has got to stop, I've only got a few days left of this kind of freedom! I should be playing some serious cards darn it. Ah well, I should be freed up after tomorrow so I'll be back in the game tomorrow night.

I've started playing multi table tournaments again on Sunday. One of the things that's going to be the toughest to overcome is the differences in play between limit ring games and no limit multi-tables. I did ok in my last one and placed 13th but made the mistake of not pushing all in at the right time and got myself beat by trying to be fancy and slow play my top pair, top kicker that was obviously the best hand until the river when the last person in caught his set.

I think one of the hazards of reading all these books is that once in awhile you have an attack of Fancy Play Syndrome (FPS). The lesson here is to stay true to my game and not try and get cute just because I think I might get a few more bets when it's more likely I'll give my opponent a chance to catch up.
