Toward the end of October after I had a few really nice runs in tournaments I was considering playing them full time again and leaving cash behind for a month. However after another really disappointing Sunday I'm already fed up with tournaments again. I know... I lasted real long into November.

I blame it all on my roommate who continues to crush tournaments and that keeps me coming back to them. He finished 2nd in the Bodog 100k last Sunday for a nice score and then FTed the Full Tilt 750k yesterday for another sick cash. He definitely deserves it though as he studies the game and puts a lot of thought into it both at and away from the tables. Every time I decided to get away from tourneys I see him hit a big score and then I get the itch to play them again. I get deep in something, whiff at the end, and then get fed up with tournaments again. It's becoming a vicious cycle.

So for the rest of November I'm going to play mostly cash again. The Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS) starts on Wednesday and I'll probably play a few of the events but I'm going to try and stay away from tournaments for the most part. In December I'll probably get back into them so that I feel prepared for the PCA in January.
