Nice cash bad deal and other stuff

Went down to the casino and played in the daily $60 tournament. I hadn’t played a tourney there since January and now they have added an optional $20 rebuy which I did at the first break so I was now in for $80. They were over 110 runners and I made the final table. 6 hours later and 4 handed I was 2nd in chips. We decide to make a deal and I walked away with almost 1k. I short changed myself a couple hundred by not negotiating like I should have but I was exhausted (that’s what I get for not eating or drinking anything in about 7 hours) and just wanted it to be over. After thinking about all night, I became very disappointed in myself for not negotiating more. I let my physical and mental state get to me and took less that I should have. I won’t make that mistake again. Overall played well, got unlucky then lucky at the final table and walked away with a nice profit. By making the final table I qualified for a free roll in 2 weeks with a prize pool of $12,500.

Overall haven’t played much on-line, taking a break from that for a while. Playing CHIMPS still but that is becoming harder as I am now back on Pacific Standard Time and getting off from work and home by 6:00pm is becoming a challenge. Still overall leader in the standings but my lead is slim. I also got into graduate school which starts after Memorial weekend so my poker playing over the next year will be sparse for sure and probably no WSOP this year which sucks.
