Bubble-itis is infecting my game again.....

Good grief. The last four tournaments (Bodonkey, Novemeber9 special on Bodog, Put a bad beat on kidney failure on FTP, and the Mookie) have been bubblicious for me. Schaubs made two final tables (PaBBoKF and Mookie on FTP) while getting some trim. We should all be so lucky. I also bubbled the final table for the P.a.B.B.o.K.F tourney which featured none other than Andy Bloch and a few other professionals (golf, drinking........I don't care if i'm a pussy for loving Bud Light!....I'd like to have a Bud Light I.V. if I could! I'm a shameless Bud Light addict and I admit that freely!......, being my nemesis). I got yelled at by the eventual winner of runner-up. with 15 left I had a short stack and a pair of 8's under the gun. I pushed and was typing 8 fast and furiously in the chat box....I flopped the 8 and had a mini celebration. The guy told me I was classless (how did he know me so well?). I had a few drinks but it wasn't like I berated him for a bad play or anything. I guess he was insulted by my play...sort of like Wawfuls in the Mookie. So anyway, playing in the P.a.B.B.o.K.F. (Poker and Miscellaneous Stuff: Pay it forward) for a good cause and trying to knock out FTP pros was all in good fun. Andy Bloch was the one of four FTP Pros that showed up (Jen Harmon, Mr. Jen Harmon, some chick named MandyB didn't show)....albeit a little late with only half of the starting stack of T1500. He went on to put a clinic on NLHE stack building right away. Of course he is going to get more respect and well he should....but he was in first with a stack of 25K in an hour and a half. I was moved before I could take a shot a knocking him out.....heh.
My consolation about the Bubble-itis is that it has happened before and will probably happen again. The last time it did happen I made a couple of adjustments and proceeded to go on hot streak. Of course the hot streak was never on FTP.....except for maybe in the BBT3. I'll probably go back to re-read the sections in the FTP tournament book with Andy Bloch and Chris Ferguson. In other news...unless I DO go on an incredible hot steak or cash a large win I probably will NOT be in Vegas at teh December blogger wpbt gathering that I enjoyed so much last year.......BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO........

You bubble because you suck. lol. Annoying little fishie. Haha! Good game man. I put you on a Queen in that hand and said fuck it mostly because I hate being the small stack and decided to gamble on 12 outs 2x Over. 40% is not horrid. Anyway I see you failed in the Mookie. As it should be. :P.
