hold would put me in about 27th place at 140% average stack. 

 

Oh well.  I’ll have more opportunities as I’m making a concious effort to play more sunday majors now.  If I’m going to play tournaments at all (which is debateable for the simple reason that tournaments are retarded but this very fact make them filled with retards and thus attractive) I should play the highest ev ones, and those are generally sunday majors or major festivals. 

Speaking of tournaments Stars has announced their All-Stakes Spring Championship for April and I’m kinda excited about it.  But there’s a definite tinge of fear palpable within the community as this series is big and mean enough to bust a lot of us.

The rallying cry for the WSOP “busto by July” may be a little quieter this year as april will cause some to go super-robusto and kill a few others - with deep wounds being fresh on many more. 

It’s gonna be a lot of fun.
