Yesterday was just all around bad. I dropped a few buyins playing 2/4nl 6max and then I jumped in a few tournaments at the end of the night since I felt like playing still but wanted to change it up and play something besides cash. I got deep in a 55 1r1a tourney but lost a big coinflip just before we hit the money. I was then deep in a $11 freezeout and was doing a pretty good job of taking advantage of the money bubble...
However, as we are about 10 from the money I pick up AK and make a raise and just as I do... BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH!!?!?! Yup, my computer crashes and not the kind of crash that is easily fixed by restarting the computer. I spent the next hour trying a few different things that will usually fix the computer and get it running again but nothing was working. I finally called Dell around midnight and spent an hour and a half trying to fix the problem. In the end we were able to get the computer running but it's very limited right now. It looks like I will need to completely wipe the computer and reinstall Windows. It really sucks but at least I'm able to access my files and save them so I can restore them after reinstalling Windows.
I wasn't planning on playing this weekend anyways as I'm headed to Chicago tonight to visit with some friends. My Mom and Grandma then fly in from Hawaii to O'Hare airport on Saturday so I will be picking them up and brining them home in the afternoon. Then on Sunday is JJO (hard rock radio station in Madison) Band Camp, which has over 10 awesome bands performing throughout the day. Hopefully I can get the computer back up and running at full speed on Monday.
