The title accurately describes my play, and my results, at SFPT September. Part of the issue was lack of concentration, but I also wasn't getting much in terms of cards either. In some ways it felt a lot like my last TS cash session.
But, I had fun, and my fourth place finish was just barely good enough to keep me atop the points race thanks to Tina taking home the win. Oscar got his second straight runner-up finish; it's too bad for him that he got off to such a shitty start else he'd be right in the thick of things as we come down to the last three tournaments.
So, I wasn't able to add any money to the bracelet hunting envelope, but I did keep on track to maybe add some in December if I can bring home the points title. I have decided that if I do take it down, half the money will go to said envelope, and the other half will go to Ally's bank account.
As for details: not many hands stand out, and I did find myself short-stacked when we were down to four players. I won a hand to get out of that spot but it didn't last long, and I shoved with 8/5 clubs. Matt and Oscar called, and post-flop, Oscar also shoved to put Matt at risk. Matt folded, Oscar showed A/J for two pair, and I mucked.
Not much else to say, really. It was a fun tournament, but not a lot sticks out.

Next up will be the October tournament, which may or may not be the same night as the World Series party. Looking further into the future, Tina, Rachel, Matt, Danielle, and I are already discussing planning for the annual January Turning Stone trip. You can bet poker will be played, and I hope to get Matt into the room as well. Call it my first poker-related goal of 2014.
