Looking around

Posted by swljuggernaut on August 29, 2008

Been doing some surfing around, watching some poker video’s and reading some blogs as always.  One of my favorite blog reading subjects is the guys that undertake Ferguson like Bankroll challenges.  I have tried two or three times in the past to undertake these things and the bottom eventually falls out.  I "know" that these things make sense by design, and I know I should follow the process but I just always end up bailing on them.  Sigh.

 

I watched the last event of the 2008 WSOP that will be televised before the main event this morning.  They were following the Grinders table as well as Hellmuth at the smaller horse tourney.  Hellmuth was whining as usual and fell short of his bracelet as did the Grinder.  After Lindgren’s win, is he now "the best player without a bracelet".  Hard to say.

 

Still not playing a whole lot accept for a few tourney’s.  Been playing some sat’s lately and doing well in them.  I am starting to wonder should I start focusing more on tourney’s and SNG’s?  I know the variance is crazy.  It’s just that the cash games have not been working for me so I dunno what to do.  Haven’t been playing live, but the LPT is only 2 weeks from today away….wooooo.

Negreneau versus Lindgren

Posted by swljuggernaut on August 26, 2008

More bad luck for Negreneau early in the HSP shows.  The third or fourth time he flopped the nuts and loses.

Take a peak

Sprucing up the blog, just surfing around

Posted by swljuggernaut on August 7, 2008

Well I am slowly but surely adding some links to my blogroll there to the right, and adding in some stuff. I really like this new template, but you never know it may change again! haha. Not a whole lot else going on, just listening to some poker podcasts, watching some video’s on youtube and pokertube, and just being lazy pretty much.

I am rereading Ace on the River right now. I bought this book in Las Vegas last year, and read it on the flight from Vegas. As I said yesterday, the poker juices are starting to flow again even though I am not playing online right now and haven’t played live in 3 weeks. I may be playing tonight as I have a couple buddies coming over, but it may just end up being a game of Risk or some Wii.

So anyway, back to the book. I am rereading Ace on the River and will probably finish my second go thru today. Next I am not sure what I am going to read. In the next couple weeks I may read Little Green Book by Phil Gorden for the third time. I read this book first a couple years ago, and immidiately my game really took an upturn. I am not sure if its coincidence or not, but it really gave me a different way to look at the game. So I may read that again before my league starts in a couple weeks. I always considered myself a student of the game, and I am really trying to get back to that.

Here’s a great pot between Farha and Hellmuth, craziness
