308th/592 - lost with 76432 to 75432.

I just couldn't get going after the second break and busted just before the third at the 250/500 level.

I'm not sure whether I have lost the ability to change gears in razz tournaments. i was certainly card dead for long periods and the bets were too big to get caught in a hand with hidden junk.

Ithink the major problem tonight was that the guy two to my right was getting involved a lot, whilst the guy to my right reraised me from the steel position when I tries to nick it from the 2nd steal position. So I couldn't steal much.

You gotta get lucky too. SGS Special has been all in about 6 times but is still in it. I didn't go below the starting stack at any point (I won the first hand) until my death hand. He made it on the river by the way.

I'm going to take a break from poker. Its just not going well at the moment. I just can't win, I'm playing badly and I only have about $850 left so haven't got enough to play at 3/6 that's for sure.
FTOPS VII Razz

Is tonight. I am trying to satellite my way in as we speak. This could prove to be very expensive if I fail (I'm going to buy myself in whatever happens). At $55 and $75 these satellites are bloody dear - and they are turbo crapshoots to boot.

If I fail to cash my Full tilt bankroll will be crippled. Its been a bad month - I decided to play some nl cash with the usual results and this is just the final straw. Won't be too bad if I satellite in. But $322 is a bit high for a Razz tourny.

Am now limiting myself to Razz and HORSE but my hearts not in it and I'm not playing well - basically I'm knackered. The tourny starts at 2 am. I had bugger alll sleep last night and I won't get any if I cash in this one. I should probably go to bed instead.

Got knocked out of the satellites. So its the expensive way for me. Good luck me.
