We are going to see how this goes. My intention is to post my thoughts on poker, both on-line and live happenings. The question of the day is...can I actually keep this up or will my blog fall by the way-side and be forgotten forever?
Just so you know where I am coming from: I have been playing poker for a few years. I guess you could say that I am one of the Chris Moneymaker generation. I am a little sad to admit that (Chris hasn't done a thing since his big win), but that is when my buddies and I started playing no limit holdem'. We started playing little tourneys for 5 bucks, or the occasional penny poker game. Since then we "graduated" to 20 or 30 dollar tourneys and then 50+ tourneys.
A good friend of mine started up a 1/2 NL game that he and another guy ran very successfully for a year or so. I think this is when I really got into the game. I was there just about every Friday night and would play for 6-8 hours straight. Every once in a while I would show up just to deal...man you can really work on your reads while you deal.
For the last couple years I have been playing about twice a week live and 2 or 3 times a week on-line. A few months ago that same good friend and I started up a poker league. It's pretty cool. We have about 30 members, we all paid dues, and we have weekly tournaments in which you earn points (as well as cash). The end of the season is actually coming up soon. There are only 3 tournaments left. At the end of the season we will be sending 7 players to Tunica to compete in some of the WSOP satellite events. I need to make up a little ground, but I could be in a lot worse shape. But hey...it's no big deal. I will just win the next 3 tourneys!!
