Mission WSOP

I have been absolutely abysmal in tournament play lately.  I can’t seem to find a rythym and on the occassion that I do, I get unlucky.  My bankroll is right around $1180 which is slightly down over the last couple of days but really just about the same.  I have been this sick combination of card dead in NL Hold’em and have poorly played in my HORSE/Razz/Stud tournaments.  Plus, I haven’t cashed in a PL Omaha Sit & Go in 4 days… I was cashing in those about twice a day until recently.  It’s getting pretty frustrating.

On the flip side, I’ve been making it all back in cash games.  I would have had a killer night tonight if my two pair didn’t get cracked by runner-runner flush or I didn’t walk into Aces with Kings.  I did manage to suck out with 10s when a player flopped trip 7s but it was a small pot compared to the other two.  The problem is that I need a big tournament cash to sweeten the bankroll quickly and I just haven’t gotten that lately.

So, what is in store this weekend? 

Saturday is the $10k Bronze Iron Man Freeroll on Full Tilt at 3:15 and WSOSP #5 (NL Heads Up) at 4.

Sunday is the PokerStars WBCOOP at 3 and WSOSP #6 (Pot Limit Omaha Hi/Lo) at 2:30.

I like my chances to at least cash in one of these with the exception of PL Omaha Hi/Lo which I find to be nauseating to play anymore.

Finally, I’m looking forward to week 2 of the Stake & Stock that I started on Surfers Poker.  I sucked in week one, only cashing in 1/5 of the satellites but at least I broke even.  I want another crack at it soon but have to wait until Monday.  Frustrating, indeed!

In other news, the WSOP schedule for 2008 should be out soon.  The dates were announced but that’s really a non-story other than it was expanded by 2 days.  The schedule should be available soon!

I’ll go out on a limb and make my baseball predictions:

Boston over Cleveland in the AL
Colorado over Arizona in the NL
A-Rod will opt to leave… and Joe Torre won’t be asked to come back.
