Falling Star This Year; San Jose, CA

	***warning: whine-fest about to commence***  haha... Well, broken record time.  2010 is starting to shape up pretty brutally thus far.  I am in one of the worst runs of my professional career, ever since the Main Event at the WSOP last summer.  I can't do a thing, regardless of what I try.  If I zig, I should have zagged and vice versa.  When I raise, I should have just called and when I get aggressive my opponent's always seem to have the goods...   Came into San Jose to play one of my favorite tournaments of the year, the Shooting Star here, and my ass just got waxed.  I lost basically every single hand from the moment I sat down and it wasn't even a little pretty.  I actually had a hand where I held AK vs. Soheil Shamseddin's J3...and I won it!  Joe Stapleton let me know that that was the first all in that he had seen me win since the WSOP.  "No, is that even possible?!", I thought to myself.  That is really scary if so.  I mean, sickly scary.  I did win that one, however, but the very next hand I lost it all back, and then some, with my 99 vs. Soheil's KQ.  Had I won that one I could have righted myself and gotten back into the game.  It didn't happen however and I finally lost when my AK was cracked by my opponent's AJ in gross fashion.  He ended up going runner runner straight on me and that was that.  Big time garbage cans.  Big time.   Sooooo, what next?  I'm running so filthy bad, but I can't help that.  Is it affecting my play?  Probably, in subtle ways, that I may not even realize.  Seems that I just need to play through it though if I feel that it is mostly just running bad.  At any rate, something must give eventually, as the universe is really racking up some variance and owes me pretty huge.  If you play poker, you go through these times and that's just the way that it is.  I'm actually very lucky in many respects; I have so many other projects that can take my mind off of being so frustrated with the game itself, that it really is a blessing.  Most players can only focus on the game more, and that can be bad sometimes...   I'll keep plugging though.  I always do.  No quit in this Seebs...not now, not ever... Sorry for the whine-fest, ya'll!  Just whats going on is all...   peace, J
