I'm not sure if that title sounds exactly how it should.  Nonetheless, it has been a long stretch since my last blog.  I apologize for those of you who actually care when I write or care about my life at all!

The last couple months have been fun, but extremely aggravating poker wise.  June consisted of my constantly constantly making day twos at the WSOP, getting close, and then simply not being able to close.  Part has been not running amazing but another part has been part of my psyche that overthinks a lot of situations and probably stress myself out too much when I'm nearing the money, especially if I havent cashed in a while.

My problem which I need to work on is to still look at each tournament individually.  Even if I havent cashed in a month, which isn't a long time in poker tournaments at all, I can't focus on those losses while I play my current tournament.  It affects my play slightly enough that I can at times be a bit timid near the money or simply create a negative mindset.  Being a big believer in the power of positive thinking and the law of attraction and all that, I know where I can slip up mentally at times, I just need to find the switch that shuts that all out!

I've been really happy with my play though.  Probably made 9 day two's at the world series, including 10k Omaha hi-lo, 10k heads-up, 10k Mixed Event, to no avail.  I ended up only cashing once.  This will be my worst Wsop of my entire poker career, I know this because no amount of bad luck can overcome the particular mindset you must have in these tournaments, and I think I'm right on the cusp and have been on the cusp of maturing and solidifying my game so its not shaky at all.  My results before the wsop are promising, and maybe I was a little too comfortable and didnt play my A+ cause I thought it was going to fall into my lap.  I played the 15k main event at Bellagio cup after the Wsop and bubbled that too!  Played so well the whole time but oh well!

Besides that I've had a great time with friends going to wsop parties and trying to figure out my next project.  Gotta work on my book book book!  I've been golfing and improving it seems like, although I still always lose money out on the course.  I'm always the sucker, lol.. probably why I have no money any more!  I don't worry because I know I have the ability in online poker to get that scrilla back once again.. the future is very bright.

Next for me is Legends of Poker which I'm here in L.A. for, then september I'll do WSOP Europe, probably make a stop in Amsterdam, then head to Aruba for my first time.  Should be a fun couple months coming up.  Been keeping up the rapping a bit but gotta do some more rap blogs!  People judge my ability in those video blogs but really you are seeing me at about 40% ability.  It is difficult to perform my best when there is no one around me and I feel some pressure from the camera.. I have to find a way to loosen up and stop overthinking all these things I do and just perform my A+ game with confidence at all times!  I do that with girls too... I overthink situations, gotta just chill chill chill.

Anyway, that's my rant, don't call it a comeback.  Just gotta always know that I never went anywhere, Madsen is always here!  Thats the mantra.  More blogs soon.
