Card dead freezout

On thursday I went to my favorite card place, card sharks to play a $60 freezeout. I have two words for you. CARD DEAD!!!! They should have thrown me in a shoe box and buried me out back. Seriously I would have done better, but as they say,"Thats poker!" I really wanted to win this one because Rob,the owner of cardsharks, started a Player of the Month contest. Now a POM contest consist of earning points over playing different tourneys. If there are 10 players then whatever position you bust out in is how many points you get i.e. bust out in 10th you get 1 point, win it and you get 10 points. Now at the end of the month whoever has the most points gets $500. Not to shabby. So I started off getting 2 points. Not a great start, but what are you going to do when all the hands you get are around the 8 2 offsuit area. When I did get a better starting hand in the paint area I would raise only to see rags on the flop with someone holding a raggedy ass hand. Add all this up and you get a 9th place finish. The only thing to do is wait for the deck to warm up and start hitting me. It is bound to happen soon. The longest Ive gone being cold decked is a month. Please God not again. In other news Cardsharks is shutting down for a bit, which sucks. Someone supposedly filed a complaint and Rob wants to investigate so he is stopping the game for a while to protect the players. Go Rob! Kudos to you for not making it about the money but making it about the players. Now if we could only get some casinos to see it this way. Hopefully next time you will get to read about a cash or a victory or at least some good hands, until then hope you do better than me.
