Start blogging.....on a bad day!
Usually the time when players start blogging is just after a big win, or a consistent upswing in cash/sng session.....in my case the opposite is true. I am absolutely pissed of for missing a big opportunity of getting an outstanding result in the MiniFTOPS Event# 22 yesterday (6-handed 266$ buy in).
I wasn't even suppose to play this tourney, didn't play on Full Tilt much recently and just realised this tourney was on 5 minutes before it started.
I finished 15th out of 1901, with a first prize up for grab of 94k $....maybe not a life changing amout, but certainly life-changing from a poker prestige perspective. I don't regret any of the hands I played, which is the main thing, but losing a couple of coin flip in the critical moments cost me a fortune.
Not much I can do at this stage really, just keep working on my game and try again. Every time an opportunity like this comes up I feel like "I lost my big chance", but then very often I find myself with another shot at the big win no longer afterwards.
I love MTT and do quite well in them, playnig mainly on Gioco Digitale, but I also started on Pokerstars.it recently and I want to play more regularly on Full Tilt now. I am also getting ready for the introduction of Cash Games in Italy in a few months time......I recently joined Leggo Poker where I could find some good training in videos and strongly reccommend training online to everyone, there are plenty of companies doing them and they are usually really good.
I think this is it for my first blog entry, I will post some of my future Poker Objectives in my next entry

Thank you, I think I probably shouldn't be so unhappy about this result, but you know how it is with tournaments, the payout structures are always so top-heavy that usually the difference between winning it and getting close to winning it is massive.....better to win one and not to cash in 50, than cash a lot of times and never hit the big win
I applaud your reverse blogging approach! I'm definitely guilty of blogging/bragging on good days and disappearing when I'm in a rut. I'm not sure if I would consider a bad day though, as it could get a much worse then that. If you're getting that far in tournaments, it shows that you're doing something right and you'll eventually hit some big scores.
