Getting Back in the Swing

Well, since everyone (Croda and NFulton) stole the look of my last blog, I decided that I would get a new look for the new blog. I think that overall blogs are really gay, but I also think they help you keep track of mistakes and overall just force you to write out your thoughts, which can be a good thing when it comes to keeping sane playing poker.

My first entry is going to be pretty simple and just cover a few basics. For one, I've decided to get back into cash games. The term "loldonkaments" applies here. Ive been playing mostly tourneys for a few months now and I really am just sick of them. I'll still play tournaments, but it won't be on a full schedule anytime soon. They're incredibly time consuming and frustrating. In the past month or two I've played the 100r on stars maybe 20 times. I've bubbled the final table at least 4 times and bubbled the cash at least 3-4 times. I had one final table on a Sunday which I hit 10K for 5th, but was bitterly disappointed with that.

Now on to what I plan on doing:
I started a new account on FTP "lvnoffsklskybux" which so far is aptly named. Last night I was involved in one big pot all night which was for a buyin at 2/4 on FTP. An aggro button raiser isolated a donkey limper for the 15th time and I have KK in the SB. I had been wanting to repop this guy for a long time, but I really didn't want to get involved with things like 94o. I had already decided the first time I got anything that resembled a hand I was coming over the top. Well, so I get KK and he raises to $18. I make it $55 or so and he insta-shoves when it's back on him. I call and the flop is A 9 A. WP sir. Sklansky bucks: $400 (not the exact number since AQ is supposed to win sometimes, but for the sake of my sanity Im calling it $400). Real money: $0. I think I ended down $150 or so on the night after losing that pot, but that's fine. I dominated the table after that and worked my way back up from $400 to over $800 without a single showdown. I quit shortly after because I was getting tired. SO....that was my night.

I also wanted to take the time to name a few blogs that I do and don't like, basically just to fill space:

Blogs I don't like:

Gene's blog - Ive actually never read this blog, but seriously, the sole mission of the blog is to convince people that he runs worse than anyone else. The whole concept annoys me.

Croda's blog - This is just a spinoff of the +1er and obviously has Zack on life tilt for the time being.

Dwal's jogblog: ...


Blogs I do like:

Lucko - Very interesting blog and surprisingly, even though Kevin's vocabulary consists of "fag" and "lol" he has decent writing skills.

NFulton's blog: Even though he stole my template, this is a good blog.

+1er: I like this blog a lot since it makes fun of people.


My goal for this blog is to write out my thoughts on poker and become a better player while also taking over the blogging world. I'm thinking of getting some sort of sidebet going on the number of readers I will have in 3 months. Probably more to come on that in the sidebet section of +1.
