Light at the end of the tunnel?

Boy it was tough in December. Although I did not play that much due to saving money for Christmas and stuff, it was still annoying not to cash very often. I had no extra money at all as I usually do. I was totally bummed.

Going into the new year, it has been difficult to stay focused. At the Sunday 8:00 a.m. tournament at the Crazy Moose, I made it to my SIXTH final table in a row without a cash! Yes, it is wonderful to make it to so many final tables because we know we cannot cash if we don't, but then to get consistently knocked out in 6th, 7th, 8th or 9th (and not 4th or 5th) is extremely annoying.

At the Sunday 10:00 a.m. tournament, having not given up at all, I finally cashed sort of. I got my money back for finishing 5th. After the past couple of weeks, this was a monster weight off my chest.

Then the next night I decided to play the little $15 tournament at the Cable Bridge and took my portion of a 3-way split of first place. I hope my slump is over!! I am going to try the deep stack at The Island tonight so wish me luck!!
