Witchdoctor anyone?

If anyone knows a witchdoctor that can lift a curse please send them my way because if this sh*t happens again in the coming week I may just quit poker altogether...I don't play THAT much...this shouldn't be this common.

All the money went in on a 4-bet of course.  Nothing wrong with his bet and I've been destroying him the whole game...but seriously.This is the money round for the FTP 4K heads up guarantee... pretty standard really.

Other notable hands of the day:  AA got beat all in pre in a heads up match by A8...dry flop then running 8s.  Like I said... I'm a bit tired of this so if anyone knows how to change luck, let me know.  Otherwise the poker world will have one less player for a while.  OK, enough whining but wanted to give you guys a look into my poker life...this sums it up this month and last.  Good night.

My challenge, being away, and getting back

As you may have all noticed, I stepped away from this blog a bit.  It's not because I haven't been playing cards or haven't been blogging for that matter because I've been doing both. I've taken on a new challenge and been blogging about that over the past 5 months.  To sum it up, I've been working on a charity challenge.  I 'found' about $20 in my bodog account.  It must have been from a bonus or something because I thought I took everything out of there.  My goal was to build that $20 to $5K by the end of the year and donate half of that to my favorite charity.  Between to real job and other things that have been going on I haven't had a lot of time to work on the challenge but I'm up over $1K.  I have a feeling that variance is beginning to fall on the good side of things and that I'm going to be able to wrap this challenge up by years end.  If you're interested check out my other blog at http://challengetheneed.blogspot.com/ .  I'm going to begin updating this blog again on a regular basis again and hope to have something good to blog about after thsi weekend of poker.  My focus is going to be on qualifying for a handful of the WCOOP events.  In the next blog I'll talk about my results in the SCOOP and what my best tourney has been this year...it's a surprising one to me.

Until then.. Good luck in everything that you attempt.
