Well, what can I say about today? It has undoubtedly been the toughest day of poker I have ever played. Started day with 117k, peaked at 165k and went as low as 65k in the last level.
Table was incredibly tough - online high stakes MTT players all day, including badbeatslayer, pearl jammer, and a couple of others - then others rocking up.
Disappointed with middle levels, pearl jammer absolutely put me in a coffin, completely outclassed me and forced me into at least three mistakes. Was really disappointed - as usually the one thing I have going for me is "self awareness" - and I can spot when people are technically better than me (many are) and adjust to give myself some chance. However during levels three and four today I played to many pots oop v him and got owned. You can see the pain in my face in Tikays pics on blonde Wsop thread.
Anyway, Kev and Sam said a couple of little things in last break which really helped. Regained some composure after dropping to 65k and managed to get back to 137,900 at the end, without showdown. So we end the day on a high and the dream is still alive.
Good luck everyone still in, especially Kev who's just a legend. We're doing it for the crab
