Update

well, I played the $2,500 NL short handed event on Thursday and lasted all on 10 minutes. I then went over to the Bellagio with Shannon and Eric and played the $1,000 daily tournament that they have been running during the series. I played really really well and when we got down to 19 people (top 18 got paid) I had an above average chip stack with 55,000. I called a standard raise out of the BB with 66 and checked when the flop came 886 (BINGO!), the original raiser bet 12,000 and have about 25k more behind him. I feel like I did a fairly good job of selling him the idea that I had a low pair, like 77 or 55 and raised all in after thinking for about 2 minutes. He pretty much immediately called with 10's and he seemed almost sure he had the best hand. It was a pretty big pot, over 110,000 in chips and the winner would defiantly be the chip leader. The turn came and 8, so it counterfeited my full house and he won the pot. :( First was $67,000, would have been nice.

I'm gonna take a break from playing the tournaments for a little while, my bankroll is suffering to much even though I feel I am playing better and better each time. I'm gonna focus on playing on-line for a while and try to make something happen.
