A Fun SnG on the new fullcontactpoker.com
Last night I had a conference call then took my son to his weekly Thursday night Cub Scout meeting, then watched Survivor that I had taped, man its a great one this year! I havent missed one episode of any season of Survior ever, its like the only show I really watch. This Sunday is the last episode, I am pulling for Rafe and my wife is pulling for Jerri.
After that I logged onto the new fullcontactpoker.com and saw a lot of my FCP friends chatting in the lobby so I created a little $5 SnG and we all played right there on the spot, about 10 of us I think. I remember some FCPHA people being there like myself, missidaho, fryer, whiskey, renae, theresa, jeff and a few other FCP people as well. I ended up winning 1st good for $25 ($20 profit). I had to get lucky one time when it was down to 3 I called a preflop raise with 7s8s and board came down 57T with 1 spade and I got all my money in and was against fryers QQ, but an 8 came off the turn and the river blanked.
I had a HUGE chip lead going into HU against theresa113 like at least 10:1 and she battled and battled and played VERY well and tied it up and even took back the chip lead at one point, but I managed to take it down when we got all in preflop with AK vs her 7K and my hand held up.
I have been noticing that the last month or so I havent really played any 'REAL' poker as in setting down and trying to crank out money and I am OK with that. I have just been having a lot of fun and trying not to burn out.

Hey DNA, I've been meaning to get back into FCP happenings lately, but haven't had time or haven't known when things are happening. I used to play every FCP trny on stars and participate in all the FCP stuff... but not so much lately lol.
Send me an IM on yahoo (ptp_chaoplayaz) or AIM (chao playaz) next time your getting a SNG or private cash game together and I'm in.
Hey DNA I know what you mean about burnout. I've been playing almost daily since April and back in September I took 6 weeks off where I didn't play 1 hand. It was nothing planned at all it just happened. It was weird when looking back over my excel spreadsheet for my blog I couldn't believe I didn't play for that long.
Don't be afraid to step away from it completely for a week or two. You might be surprised at how your passion for it will come back after a long break.
