Tournaments Suck

BR: $32,624

I won $600 at tournaments and it was the worst feeling ever. I remember again why I hated tournaments; they leave foul tastes in your mouth every time you play. Unless you are innuring yourself by playing dozens at a time, its really quite an awful feeling. Getting all in pre-flop with 77 against 92o and losing is disgusting, even if you know the percentages aren't all enormously in your favor.

So I went back to my trusted PL $600. And just so you guys know that I'm not a genius who always wallops people into oblivion, yes I do make bonehead plays; yes I do bluff for hundreds of dollars with ace high and lose to fullhouses; and yes I do hand out my share of rivered queens on bone-head moves.
