Well I had hoped for 2011 to be my first year at the World Series of Poker but after April 15 and the shut down of PokerStars and Full Tilt my plans were aborted. After losing my job in October and then losing my second job, playing and winning online at PokerStars, there was just no way to swing the trip. This is the third summer since I started playing poker that I've watched the WSOP from afar. All I can do now is hope that "maybe next year" I'll make it there. Hoping for next year is really getting old. I didn't get to one single live tournament I wanted to play this entire year so far. I'm hoping and planning to go to Tunica for the World Poker Open, which is actually to date the only tournament event I've ever been able to attend after going in 2009, so let's hope this one comes through.
Finished 3rd in the $1000 guarantee tonight on Cake Poker, first final table in awhile. I've just had trouble getting any momentum going since Black Friday. Maybe things will start to turn around soon. After all I'm sure I have earned quite a few Sklansky Bucks over the last 6 weeks with the crappy way I've been running.
My attitude has improved some after taking a week off from poker, but it's still hard at times not to get pissed off and fed up about this whole online poker thing.
Well here's to maybe next year and good luck to all who are lucky enough to make it to the WSOP this year.
