Another Sunday Million?

I just won a satellite into this week's Sunday Million. Thanks in large part to the table chipleader calling my all-in with his pocket 3s. Hooray for people willing to toss a coin for more than half their stack... and then running into my pocket 10s :) That put me in pretty good command, until we got down to 3-way and it did get pretty close, but I managed to pull through.

So, yay, I won a seat again. First shot at it too... NOT one of those massive satellite-after-satellite sessions that I've become accustomed to doing. The only problem is, I'm going to Rick's wedding this weekend. However, my flight does return in time for me to play, if I wanted to. But I'm going to be all kinds of jet-lagged and hungover probably. Then again, being hungover seemed to work out okay last time.

Right now I'm automatically registered for this week's Sunday Million, but I think I can unregister and use my token on a different week, or probably re-register for this week too if I decide to play it. So I'll probably go ahead and do that and just hold on to my token for now.

hmm, also the Monster Million is on Sunday too. But... I definitely can't make it back for that -- it's at 12:30 EST, so 9:30am here, yeah not happening. Guess I'll definitely hold on to my token for that one.

In other news, I have lost all confidence in my limit cash game skills. I dropped $500 today, which isn't that much but it just felt so horrible today. It felt like nothing could go my way, especially in the heads-up pots where you have to be more creative. I just don't know if I can beat a tough limit game... I still believe that I can beat the 15/30 games in Vegas, but those are so much softer than the 5/10 games online that have been destroying me. Online games are much more difficult, due in large part to the aggression that you face. If anyone check-raises you at a B&M casino, on any street, you can be pretty damn sure that you're beat unless you have at least a set, or unless you are facing the rare drunken maniac. But online, that check-raise could easily mean bottom pair, or a pure bluff. And this puts you in a tough spot with all of your medium-strength hands against one opponent. Maybe I just have to face the fact that my skills aren't as good as I thought. I used to think that I would be the best or one of the best players in just about any limit game that I'd play in. I still believe this for 15/30 live and below, but I don't know about above that, and I certainly don't feel like one of the best players in my online games right now.

ok I'm done rambling now. Maybe I should just screw limit games and focus on landing a big tournament win anyways :) we'll see...
