Sneaking up on me

I'm going to play in the BCA tournament in Vegas and it's less than 3 weeks away. I'm usually counting down the days until Vegas but not this time. I need more time to practice and get into my groove. I was playing really well a few weeks ago but not so much now. I've haven't been playing as much as I would like to and when I do play it's league usually and I don't play jam up and really focus. I'm going to start playing tournaments every week as many as I can. I tend to really focus and play my best, like in the couple tournaments I played in Fort Collins and Denver a couple months ago. I've never played as strong as I did in those, I felt like I could play with anyone. And confidence is almost as important as shooting well. When I've got that combo going I feel like I could do some real great things in Vegas. With short races to 5 anything can happen. At the tourney in Denver I played at several weeks ago I broke and ran 7 of 16 racks I broke! So regardless of who I'm playing, if I'm stroking it that well I've got a good chance. I tend to really focus in tournaments, when I played in Vegas 2 years ago I played probably about as good as I ever had. I made the 1st round of the money so I was satisfied with my results that year. My goals this year will be to make it quite a bit further than that but I don't feel I can only be results oriented at this tournament. I could play the best 2 players in the tournament and lose and be out right away. So my main goal is to play the best I can and the rest will take care of itself. If I play great and lose then that's ok because I ran into someone better than me and I know there are many people out there better than me. I'm a much stronger player than I was 2 years ago so I'm very excited to kick ass and take names.
