I did this tourney I thought I was supposed to win, the first time I played I didn’t cash. I was really surprised, I thought I was one of the top players at the tourney, there were about 60 players. Second time I did that same tourney I tried really hard and was shocked I didn’t cash again. Couldn’t believe it.
This time before this tourney, after not cashing at 4 tourneys in a row, I had a really strange thought: “I think I might be delusional, am I one of those narcissistic players who think they’re better than they are?”. First time in my life I thought that.
I didn’t get in the side pots, felt like I had no talent, past my prime, then a buddy talked me into getting into sides last minute, so got in the side pots. Then proceeded to easily win the tourney. It was surprising how easily I won it. Never won a tourney that easily. Everyone I played ended up making a mistake at one point especially in the finals. Easiest win ever, I feel like I didn’t do anything, don’t recall a single tough shot the entire tourney. The shot clock got to me at one point and the ref made a bad call once, that was about it.
Felt weird when people clapped at the end for just a small or mid-sized tourney. Then the best part while driving home was this moment when I realized I wasn’t delusional. I probably was one of the top guys there, turns out. If all this sounds boring it might be one of those situations you had to be there to get it.
