I ended up shooting quite a bit better in the main event today. I shot a 61/75 in the FITASC event. So right now, I have 116/150 with 50 targets left to be shot. I don't really have a chance to win it at this point; a few of the big name pros have a significant lead over everyone.
We also shot 100 targets of sporting clays today but I was really fatigued from the FITASC. I got destroyed on my first station, shooting a 3/8 and the targets weren't even that difficult on that station. I shot the worst score I have in a while at sporting clays... I only got 75/100. The second 100 targets of the sporting event will be shot tomorrow. I'm way far out if it in this event, even with it only being halfway completed. I think the top score was a 93/100.
Poker went pretty well today. I booked a big win in a two hour session before we ate dinner. I made $5k that session. I ran pretty well, which was definitely nice for a change. Then I played a bit more later on when we got back to the hotel room and I lost about $2.5k so I finished the day +$2.5k or so.
I got stacked in an unraised pot vs a player who I perceived as somewhat wild but appearantly he was a little tighter than I thought... he had slowplayed a bigger two pair on the flop and I turned two pair and played it very aggressively because I thought he was the type to overvalue top pair (he actually still may have been that type, but I didn't see him play enough hands for that situation to occur). I felt kind of "meh" for getting stacked there, as I could have played it like a little bitch and just folded when he 3-bet the turn.
Other than that, I just spewed off about a buyin playing a bit more aggro than I normally do. I was playing around 26/20 with a 3-bet of around 10%. I think it was working OK but I need to pay more attention to people's breaking points... in other words, I need to try and guess more accurately when I think people will become fed up with me. I made one pretty poor 4-bet bluff and then 3-bet bluffed this one nit one too many times (he caught on).
Last day of the shoot tomorrow will be pretty much just for fun as I don't have a chance of placing. Being in Master class is sort of bittersweet; I am in the highest class possible so it's sort of nice to have that status and proof of my abilities... however, I need to shoot near perfection to win because in the bigger shoots I'm actually competing against professionals.
I'm a very competitive person so when I'm not shooting well enough to have a chance to win, sometimes it becomes difficult to have fun while shooting. I'm doing a lot better at this than in the past, but I was getting a bit frustrated during the 100 bird sporting clays event. Shooting is a hobby and I need to remember that. I had fun today, but I still am taking it a bit too seriously. I can still try hard and attempt to hit every target and have fun without taking the game too seriously.

About Me
Duckslayer2k's Poker Career
The summer after my first year of college, a bunch of my old friends from high school were all back in town after finishing up the 2005 spring college semester. We all decided to get together at a friend’s house to hang out and someone decided that we should play poker. I was totally clueless and had no idea how to even play. I had seen it on TV before but never paid much attention to it and didn’t even know the rules. I was reluctant to even play the small $5 tournament because I had heard so many horror stories about how people had become addicted to gambling and lost everything, so I didn’t really want open up the possibility of something like that happening to me as well. However, curiosity and eventually the realization that I was smart enough to control my losses led me to enter the $5 sit-and-go. I was the first player to bust out, but I had a lot of fun and the poker bug had bitten.
I am now a regular in the $2/4 NL - $5/10 NL 6 max online cash games on PokerStars. I have played well over 2 million recorded cash game hands in my career and I look upon building on that experience with getting into higher stakes in the coming months.
