Hopefully I am back

Okay its been 4 months since my last post and that's unforgivable but a lot of things have happened since then. Some good, some not so good.

1. Still playing poker live 3 nights a week. My game I think has improved a lot in the last year and I am making better decisions. That's what this game is all about.

2. Still playing online at Pokerstars. I really hate the online game and really don't trust the random selection of cards and that's why I only play 1 dollar 45 player sitngoes. I just do it to pass time and am constantly amazed at the suckouts online and people calling with obscure cards and then straighting or flushing out. It's almost like they know whats coming. More on that later.

3. Had a bit of a health issue which seems to be under control. It was weird I had trouble swallowing food. Turns out my esophagus doesn't work properly. You know how they found that out. I had to swallow whole marshmallows while lying on a scan table without chewing them. Try doing that?? It was horrible but it did show the problem. I now have some great medication and everything seems to be back to normal. I had lost 17 pounds and being a runner I am pretty skinny anyways so that was pretty scary.

4. I booked a Vegas trip for June (first one this year) and I am going to play in one of the events leading up to the main event. Really looking forward to it. Only 1000 dollar buy in. I can't believe I just wrote that as 1000 is a lot of money.

5. Still was following a lot of my favourite blogs while I took a writing hiatus. you know who you are. Found a couple new ones too.

Good to be back

  1. Vegas in June - you should try the Venetian deep stacks! That's what I'm looking at - and they buyins are even less than $1,000......maybe $600. Oh and I just found out that tumeric (in pill form) is good for the esophagus, if you want to go the herbal route. Thanks for visiting my blog and please come back.

  2. I would love to play the Venetian Deep stack but for one problem. The smell in the Venetian. I can't stand it. They have an awesome poker room though. Wish they would stop pumping that smell in. I enjoyed reading your blog and will keep reading.
