Rough Weekend

It is becoming that time of year when the sun is out and the days are getting nice. Who wants to spend their time in a casino where there is no outside light? I did play the tournament on Friday and got to the final table only to go out in 10th. I made a pair on the flop and with what I had left I pushed all in. One person folded and the other person called. He had a smaller pair on the flop and ended up making trips. Thats the way the cards play. On Saturday we were not able to get any tournaments off the ground. It was very frustrating for the dealers as well as the players. We need to get at least 18 players to have a tournament and when you get to ten players and still can't play the tournament it gets frustrating. This is when everyone needs to just cool down and not blame the dealers and we need to understand that this is the time of the season for this. There are a few of us that will come in on our days off so we can help get a game going whether it be live or in a tournament. We try to help each other. I have been reading the book on Cash Games being a business and hopefully I can start taking some it and putting it into my game. I really need to stop playing during the day and stop playing short handed. Playing five handed just to be in the Monte Carlo's just doesn't work with my bankroll. I play differently during the day than at night and I will usually give away my buy in by not playing like I should. I open my range of playing hands due to the blinds coming around often. New rule for me to play with at least 8 players at a table. I am working on my starting hands as well as position. I will all come together at some point. My tournament play is doing fine. I need to be a litte bit tighter in the early stages and I will work on that as well. We watched "Dexter" Season four episodes 1-3 the other night. We like that show and we are trying to watch it when we have a chance of being home together. I was at Blockbuster last night and they had a weekly sale going on for 5 for $20 and I purchased five DVD's. Ones I haven't seen yet, and ones I missed in the theaters. Our heat pump was worked on this morning and it is now working. Ready for the summer heat. It had a burnt fuse. Could have been worse. Have a fun day.....
