Limp, call

Its day eight of my WSOPc trip n Durant, OK at the Choctaw Casino. Today was the start of the 500k gtd. which has four starting rounds. Two starts today and two tomorrow, at noon and five. I got knocked out of the first round when I go two pair all-in verse and over pair on the flop and the board comes running queens to give him a better two pair. I will be trying again at 5pm.

Yesterday was the first ring event of this series and the attendance was pretty good. Yesterday there was 482 players for the $365 ring event and the three days prior that had $365 25k's with no rings averaged about 80 players. They come out of the woods for a WSOPc ring. Yesterday I went out after about four hours of play in a blind verse blind hand where I got my money in bad making an aggressive play on the turn. His range was polarized to pretty much nuts or nothing and it wasn't nothing. The day before I got 14th in a $365 25k and it paid 12 places. I got it all-in preflop with AA verse AQss and the villain made a flush on the river. I feel I played well and I know there is more to come.

I have been having a good trip so far enjoying the play and the people. I have played the least amount of cash games that I ever have at a live series but have had my focus on these events and have been trying to shake a slight cold. Luckily, I am feeling a bit better today and I am excited to get back in there and splash some chips around. I am firing at all four starting round in this 500k and both starting days in the Main and I really expect myself to perform well. 2012 was a great year for my game even though it wasn't a great year of results. I spent most of the year at home grinding online and giving lessons and I believe it is all starting to pay off. I know that all I can do is put myself in the spots to succeed and then make the best decisions possible and comfortably live with the results with little to no emotion, and that I can do.

This will be a great series and I am sure several of my friends will have success. Best of luck to everyone here, long live Oklahoma poker.
