i’m closing september’s books

i had stated a couple of goals at the beginning of the month, and blew the snot out of them.  i’m four-tabling now, so that whole “take it slow, really read the situations” thing went completely out of the window.  i’ve stepped up to the $50 games at times i shouldn’t have, and i think i [...]

some things don’t mix

i like bluegrass.  i like van halen (i’m more of a commercial fan though, i like the songs i hear on the radio, i didn’t buy all the albums).
that being said, i do not like david lee roth doing jump in a bluegrass style.  it ummm, smells like someone ran out of money.

halfway checkpoint

well, half of the month of September is done.  results-wise, i’m at the 5,000 hand mark in 20 hours of play.  across all levels i’m 9.42 bb/100.  i’ve been cheating a bit, ahem.
one night i told myself that i’m going to drop down to the $10NL game and practice playing for stacks a la PNL.  i [...]

Coach Carter

my son and i watched the movie last night on regular tv.  it’s one of those “happened in real life” high school sports movies that’s inspirational.  and in it, there’s a quote that i like to hear . . .   
Our Deepest Fear 
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are [...]

Dose of Silliness

i told myself i’m not going to let these “are you serious” gems slip away.  be warned, they may amuse me, and only me, but they actually happened and someday i’ll record them in book form.
three weeks ago someone stops in the bar late, and decides to have a beer, then grab a six-pack on [...]

the 1,500 hand mark

which, double tabling, took over 8 hours.  anyway, i’m there.  and, at this point the results are in line, 8.39bb/100.  up a smidge over 2.5 buy-ins (that’s taking one short end of an AA v KK into account, as well as one aggressively played Flush Draw that hit on the

river.  a little of this/a [...]

a new database

that’s right.  i’m opening a new database in my pokertracker because this one has been corrupted by my inability to do what i know is the right thing.  for instance, the right thing is not to have a few beers while playing, hit some rough spots, maybe a bad beat or two, go on tilt, [...]
