-925$ this morning in the highest game I've ever played: $25/50 limit. I am pretty sure I played with GM Nikola Mitkov. He was a live one (bad player) I did not play well at all. I am not sure what goals I am currently pursuing playing so high. I think I was hoping to play well and hit the good variance, none of which happened.

I have lost all of the money I had on Bodog. First, in 5/10$ game I lost over 500$. Then, I lost the rest in 3/6$ game. So, -871$ today. What a horrible horrible day. The worst thing is I felt I played fine. The cards just ran very bad for me today. I am in the midst of some kind of black zone where I am surrounded by bad events that happening to ( Read more... )

Yesterday we went to Commerce. Eugene offered a stake: he gives me money to play with, if I lose, it's on him, but if I win he takes 60% of the profits. We played for over 8 hours in 100$ NL game in Commerce. I played my B+ game or so but I took a crazy amount of bad beats and lost 800$ for the night. Yes, it is possible to play well and still lose ( Read more... )

I overslept my chess game. (Even if I did play on 2 hours of sleep, I would still lose) I didn't know I would play John Daniel Bryant on board 3 (very strong player, but I happen to be 2-1 against him). So, so much for a chess tournament: two draws and reentry, and then 3 wins and then 2 losses. I will drop my rating by ... wait, weird I actually ( Read more... )
