Sloe Times

I played in the 5th qualifier today (after bombing out of the first and missing the next three) and placed 162nd out of 1876 players. In theory becuase I finished in the top 10% I've made it into the the championship tournament in February. I didn't get very many good cards today and spent an abnormal amount of time folding. I'd have to say that all in all, tournaments require an amount of patience and stamina that I apparently don't have... I was bored silly and ended up making at least a few goofy plays that I shouldn't have. In theory the cure may be to play in more of them to 'condition' myself, but I'm not sure if I've got the time to make that kind of investment in training. For someone who wants to be a better poker player that sounds silly, but it is what it is.
