Summary of my Commerce Tournament Life

• Nearly attacked in the Commerce Casino parking lot by some creepy, homeless man trying to talk me into buying this piece of shit bracelet.
• Stood around for an hour talking to dumb ass guys.
• Tournament was supposed to start at 8 p.m. It didn’t start ‘til 9.
• Played way to conservative. Should have raised more. Chickened out when I was raised. Often had the best hand.
• Sat next to Norm McDonald’s producer of some sort. She was nice
• Met Sam Simon, one of the creators of the Simpsons. He’s cute.
• Bumped into Norm McDonald, literally (his fault). The guy looked scruffy. He could have at least showered for the tournament.
• Got anted down to nothing. (Unlike the phrase blinded-down where I lost all my money with the $200-400 blinds, I lost most of my money having to put in $50 every hand.
• Finally went all-in with a J2 of spades against a guy with QK, and two Qs came on the river. The time, 10:30 p.m.
• Consoled myself with a Taco Bell Crunch Wrap Supreme. Soul still empty.
  

Final thought: I have to open up my game more. I’m more comfortable with Limit Hold’em and it showed. I did better than about half the room, but not as good as last year. I think I wear too much pink. I miss Steckler.
