Chasing the River: NOT

After a rocky start that took me down by two-thirds, I built my way back and made it to the final table of the Riverchasers Deep Stack this evening. As always in any tournament, I survived by luck a couple of times, and then three hands in a row at the end I got it in good and lost. Went out seventh. Ça, c'est la poker!

I need to work on the concept of the reraise. I'm sometimes caught off guard by a raise, and don't often have the nerve to pull the trigger on a reraise. This lets people run over me, which I must strive to prevent. I'll work on that in lower stakes games.

I'm starting to recognize some of the usual suspects, which adds a semi-social dimension to the Battle of the Bloggers experience, and that's fun.
