30 Apr

close, but not quite

the end of the month is upon me, and although i dearly want to log out and start the new period of time, we’re not quite there.  it does strike me that i need to get back into the habit of posting HANDS and learning again.  i’ve atrophied something horrible, which puts me back at [...]

Mistaken Identity

true story . . .
Charlie’s wife send him to the distributor to get a case of beer while she starts dinner.  in PA you can get 6-packs of beer at a bar, but to get 24 or more (a case) you need to go to a beer distributor.  so, off he goes.
on the way home, [...]

blood pressure pills

maybe i should have some.  i’m too tired to kill anybody right now, but i’m angry enough to want to watch.  and that, is probably not a good thing.  at least that’s what my rabbi tells me.  and his sensei concurs.  although i think their in league against me, but, whatever.
the flyers obviously didn’t drop [...]

Changing Gears

just a few notes.  i’m experiencing my second day in a row without playing cards.  very odd, but it’s on purpose.  i have some other things that need attending, so i’ll be playing less (which i think i already mentioned).  hopefully that’ll heighten the experience and lead to better decisions.
that being said, i’m a little [...]

and to find a pillow

that’s the last chore on the list for the evening.  i do have to say that after my first session, i felt the blood in my face and obviously saw that i wasn’t playing my best, so i took that time out. 
pulling back far enough to inspect the hands, away from the tables, catalog ‘em [...]

the Mid-Month Mark

usually i do this on Wednesdays, but i’m done pokering for the evening, and tomorrow starts a burst of work that needs to be done over the upcoming days, so tonight will do just fine.
I’m Back To Good - see, i started the month on a tear, running something like 14ptbb/100 over the first two [...]

April 15th - Tax Day

well, today is the day.  unless you’re planning on requesting an extension, Americans are required to file their Income Tax returns by midnight. 
please be generous, the government is currently $9 trillion in debt, and we’re still spending more than we bring in. 
i did hear some potential good news outside of the accountant’s office today.  an elderly [...]

The Poker Mindset . . . of me

beware, i’m prepping for quite the babble.  and, hopefully in time, this’ll become dated information. ok . . .
i play 6-max NL Hold’em, and when i feel like i’m “on” my game, this is how i see the poker table:
i sit down and i look at the fellow across the table from me.  we’ll have [...]
