The Making Of A Poker Player

I just finished reading "The Making Of A Poker Player" by Matt Matros. not overly long with only 286 pages this book is an easy and fun read.
It's geared more towards the beginner but has little tidbits worth the time. I liked when he talked about his big run in the Wpt tourney.

decent read but not a must read.

Keeping track

I have never been one to keep good records.
But I am going to try this year.

So I can see How I am progressing.
I hope it doesn't get to depressing to see my meager progress.

as of right now I am (144.63) playing ring games for 2006.
I took a brutal beating on Bet365 which accounts for that entire loss.
this doesn't include any boni that i recieved.v
I am + 86.43 for tourneys.

which leaves me at (58.20) down for the year.

I will finish the update soon.

Happy New Year!!!!

Happy New Year


Wow I have been getting crushed on bet365 lately. Those crazy euros
have been crushing me. I am -400 in the last 2 weeks on bet365
ouch. I even dropped down from 3-6 to 1-2 and still the beats come.
It's a good thing that I was up +500 on bet365 or i would be sucking it badly.

ohh well this is the negative side of variance i guess.

My game is ok just seem to be taking it on the chin. from people who
do not mind chasing down to the river with bottom pair. only to catch
one of thier 2 outs.

My Youngest daughter ( I have 2) just turned 5, man how time flies.

Peace and HappyNew Year.

It's been a tough weekend

On friday I got the call that a Very close friend had passed away.
Merry Fucking christmas to you too god.

So the weekend has been sad.
That being said my 2 daughters were happy with thier
gifts and we celebrated christmas with the inlaws and Hannukka
with mine.

Poker has been a fricking mess this weekend.
Play well and get kicked in the balls. Rinse and Repeat over and over and over.
and to top it off We played live during MNF and I was the first or 2nd to lose in both games.
I am such a donk.
Well atleast the patriots are picking up steam at the right time to make a run
at 3 in a row.

Bring on the colts it won't even be close.

thats about all for now.

back to Full tilt

I played in the 9pm 10k on ftp and donked around for about 30 min.
I got it all in with tptk but someone liked to chase thier flush and got there.

So I sat down in a 2/4 6max game and got cold decked for about 40 min but only managed to
drop 60 bucks. I didn't hit one flop when i had cards. Not fun but so it goes.
I had one guy yell at me for chasing But I had 2 pair to his 1 pair until he caught his flush on the river.

so -86 for the night but things could have been worse, I think I am getting a better
handle on 6max but the swings can sure be crazy. but it is certainly more fun since u
get to play many more hands.

bet365 and bonus whoring

I signed up for bet365 which is a prima room with the intention of bonus whoring them
since they have a promo where for every 50 raked hands you get $10.

but man these players are crazy. It is odd since most of them are Euro's
but some of these clowns have no clue how to play, That being said I ended up +36 before the
bonus after 500 hand. Not great but I will take it.

It should have been +150 but was the victim of a few suckouts to drag me down.
still free money is free money right?

back to FTP to grind it out there.

I wish I was in Vegas

Man oh man do I wish I was there with the rest of
the Bloggers for the winter blogger tourney's.

It stinks to be in Massachusetts in 30 degree weather with 12 inches of fresh snow,
when I could be in vegas drinking it up with the rest of the degenerate gamblers.
