This month was the most volume I have ever played since I started playing poker. It is also the biggest downswing I have ever had to stomach. I am sure that the two go hand in hand. I have just burnt myself out... With FTOPS early in the month and then me uping my regular schedule from 6 MTT's to 10-12 tables at a time and really not taking any days off, has been a recipie for failure all around.

Sigh......... we lost a big race JJ < AK for 100k pot near the money bubble.. kind of how FTOPS has gone so far. No worries though we have some great events the rest of the weekend and we are also getting near the money in the 50k $150 on FTP. I'll go ahead and update on that tournament if it looks like i might make a FT run
