Journal Entry for Sunday, Jan 8th

No Luck To do well in almost any tournament, four things need to happen. First, you need to be dealt some playable hands. Second, when you do get some playable cards you need to get a ‘flop’ that compliments or improves your hand. Third, you need to have enough people in the pot calling you with good, but lesser hands, so that you are able to make some money. Lastly, all this needs to happen before the ‘blinds’ eat up your starting chips. Unfortunately,  none of those things happened today. Oh well, better luck next time. Actually, a week from Saturday I am in another free roll ($50,000) tournament at the “M” with about 300 players.
