So now that my history/ opening blog post is taken care of I can move along onto the rants.

RUNNING BAD SUCKS

Since I'm not playng today the last day of Feb, I've now officially logged two straight losing months to start off the 2009....small in Jan and Medium sized in Feb.... and frustration is insane.

People flop sets on me so often it's not even funny, and I always have hands to pay them off with. In my last session alone, I had 5 sets that I know...

Tonight I played in a weekly dealers choice game with my Mother-in-Law and her sisters. It's an ante based game that is technically No Limit for everything, but tends to behave like limit.

Out of 7 players, it is common for 5-7 to see the end of each hand. Lots of checking and min betting. Tonight the fare included...

Hold'em
Omaha
O8
Stud
Spit in the Ocean
KC Lowball
Hit the post (not poker, more like card counting and odds)...

If you haven't watched this American show (and I sure hope it is only an American show), it shows 400 lb behemoths that are totally out of shape and then stick them at a fat camp essentially and make them work out. I know this may come as a shock to some of you, but in the show, fat people that exercise lose weight. Damn, I never would have thought that would occur. Actually, I did. It's fucking obvious.

Then it got me to to thinking, who is watching this drivel? No person that is...

Since turning pro at the end of 2007 and playing seriously since 2004 my poker career has had it's share of ups and downs. Since I've never blogged before, I figure I'll open this blog with a brief history of my play before I go on to ranting.

I've played poker in some form or another since I was a little kid, but mostly bullshit "dealer's choice" rotation games, like follow the queen, baseball, crisscross etc, along with the regular's of 7 stud 5 card draw, holdem etc....

Hey guys, since the blogs here were my idea I guess I should actually start posting on mine. Not sure what you can expect to find here, but I promise to try and keep it entertaining. I'll probably post a bunch of pictures too, because writing sucks amirite?

Later.
