I feel like my week has been really busy even though I don’t really have much to show for it. On Sunday I made my Big Game audition video. My friend was really awesome and put together a really cute and cozy set in her kitchen. I talked for around 2 min about myself but I changed into different costumes and did different things while doing so. I think it turned out okay.
PokerStars responds to everyone that submits a video, so I will hear back no matter what. Hopefully it’s not a rejection right away, although I highly doubt it will be. I’m sure they’ll string me along a bit first 😉
On Tuesday I went to Edgewater and played a $365+$35 ladies tournament. We started with 300bb and levels were 30 min long, and it was pretty cool to have so many chips for such a small buy-in. Unfortunately there were only 46 entrants, which meant that 5 people paid and first was $6k. I think I played really well. I got some nice hands at the start of the event and got full value for all of them.
When the final table formed, I had around 20bb. I was looking forward to push/folding my way to glory, but unfortunately I went out in 9th. I standard raised KK in EP and got two calls, cbet a J high flop and called a push by AJ. The turn was a J and that was it. It’s pretty disappointing because I cash pretty much 100% of the time when I win that pot, and then obviously I also have a great shot at winning.
Because of my Big Game video and the Tuesday live donkament, I feel like I’ve been struggling to catch up with everything else all week. I only played online tournaments 2 days this past week, and I lost a couple hundred both days. Today I have a bunch of website work to catch up on, and I also hope to fit a few Step satellites in. I’ve been using them to grind VPPs because despite my horrible volume this month, I’m pretty close to Goldstar. It’s crazy how tough it is for me to hit Goldstar while playing MTTs. I was on pace for Supernova when I was playing cash before I stopped playing on a regular basis.
