BBT4 home strech

BBT4 is coming down to the final two weeks.  I've played a bunch of them, and have nothing to show for my play.  I came one river card away from wining one,  as stated in the post, 'that's poker'.

I went through the HH's to id key hands where I was making mistakes and poor decisions, and was shaking my head at how many premium hands went down in flames on key big pot hands, many times.  Didn't matter if it was preflop with AA/KK or post flop with made straights/flushes only to get outdrawned by crazy river hitting cards.  I suppose 'running bad' can be in the context of a series, as I've been doing ok otherwise.  Case in point, 3 hands into the Brit game on Sunday, I get bounced on this:

Last night for the Riverchasers, I didn't play the first hour, in an effort to 'shake up the lineup'.

Sadly, same ole result.

So unless I pull something out these last couple of weeks, I'll be shut out for the first time since the series started.  It's certainly a bit frustrating, but at least it's cool to play with everyone in our circle, and great to see a few of our fellow bloggers have a chance to win a seat and play in the big dance.   

Of course, once the BBT ends, the attendance in our blogger series will go down, as it usually does after the end of the BBT.  That is something that I always hope doesn't happen, but as we have seen, pretty much has been the case every time.  

It would be nice if in future BBT events, a small portion of the prizes could be reserve for those who are 'regulars' in the weekly Blogger tournaments.  It may provide the incentive to help keep attendance up, while still keeping the main prizes open to all.  Just a thought.
