I posted a video on the YouTube channel, but for anybody that is purely a blog reader here's the lowdown. On the afternoon of the 19th my computer crashed. I then spent the following 48 hours straight trying to restore, recover, or at least figure out a work around for the error so that I could get back to "work" so to speak. It was all for not, and I ended up spending another ten hours reinstalling Windows 10, and downloading / installing all of the updates. It was tedious, and frustrating because I really REALLY didn't want that to happen at this point in the whole "Something from Nothing" series.
Since getting the system back up and running I've only played two of the free rolls, and didn't do well in either one. In the second tournament I was still trying to get my broadcasting software running, and while trying to focus on the game as much as I could I was railed by another bullshit river situation.
Hole Cards: KQ spades
Flop Q, 8, 5 diamonds.
Turn 4 clubs
*we both push ALL-IN*
River's a 5 of hearts,
and he's holding K5 off.)
I know that it's a free roll, and that kind of stuff is to be expected from time to time, and especially within the first 45 mins. The hands wouldn't be that big of a deal if it weren't for the other problems. I'm okay with the crazy stuff that happens at the tables, but it's a lot harder to let it roll of my back when it seems like the things that I really want to excel at just wont materialize.
Thoughts of giving up constantly flood my mind when I contemplate what the future looks like at this rate, but at the same time I don't want this to be another undertaking abandoned because of complications, and setbacks... and so we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
