Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated…
Many things have been going on in the poker arena, some websites have stayed to serve the US, some have not, and luckily the ones that left I don’t play on. Have to give a big shout out to 2 plus 2 forums; they have been a great source to view what is happening at a rapid pace. The interview on with Annie Duke, Mike Sexton and the PPA guy was very good, but in my opinion, the movement is too disorganized, and needs more effective leadership.
I have been keeping an eye on the websites that stayed in the US and have seen some huge growth in some of them; it will be interesting to see the shakeout. One has to wonder if the listing of the poker companies on the stock exchanges led to their downfall, public companies garner public attention, it can be a good ride on the way up, but a devastating ride down. The founders made their money; it’ll be interesting to see the commitment level, or the changes that occur.
Poker has gone well, the low limit PL tables that I play are fishy, and the cap games are even better, tilt wife is hot on the trail of the iron man challenge and earning points like crazy, way to go tilt wife.
I was pursuing the iron man challenge also, but it started to feel like poker was becoming a job, and I don’t want poker to be that, once it feels like a requirement, it starts to suspiciously feel like a job, and I don’t want my hobby to be that way.
Big shout out to the Gecko, vgas, went to a NL $1 to $2 game, and apparently gutted some very fishy tourists, had to lay down JJ last night to the evil gecko, but his re raise smelled like a huge over pair, and it was. KK vs. JJ, I laid them down, no reason to be a 4 to 1 underdog.
The grumbling at the tables has been interesting, about suck outs and such, I think that I am ignoring it more often. I have always maintained the idea that no matter what two cards you hold, you still have five cards to get through, and those five community cards have a bad habit of changing your hand more often then not. I read a great article in card player about poker logic, and I think I have been applying that more. If there is a re-raise, lets get to the flop, and see what hits; I don’t like to have all my money in pre flop if I can help it.
Long huge rambling post, but it has been awhile, good luck all.
Thanks for reading, comments are welcome!!!!.
