WSOP Summary: I came close in many events, but didn't play well enough or run well enough as we got close to the money. I had been looking forward to the WSOP and came away very disappointed. Now I'm back to grinding the cash games. Maybe I'll have a good WCOOP in September.

I won my first two matches (against Vanessa Rousso and Sammy Farha) in the NBC heads up. Most of the favorites had gotten knocked out early, but I couldn't beat Jerry Yang in the third round! At least I lost to a nice guy.

I made day 2 in the Shooting Star, but never was a threat.

In the APPT Manila, I misread the color of my opponent's chips which probably cost me a big pot.

There were no airfare or hotel room costs for me in LA since I live there. I wasted good starts in the NAPT and WPT, nearly bubbling each of them. I was overly aggressive which isn't necessary in big fields, since there will be enough weak spots dumping money.

I'm already down enough in tournaments this year that most players would be looking for backing or would have given up.

Fortunately, I have a day job: playing poker in side games.
