Poker as a cruel mistress, I love it! Make her jealous of your other options, and she's bound to come crawling back looking for your company. Nice post man. Good luck going forward...

I want you to remember what happened to me at the cash tables at the IP during December, twice I made the correct play, even by your own thought processes, and twice I gave away chips to drunken eurolemurs who couldn’t stand America, but wanted to be here anyway.

The point I am making is that yes, sometimes we get kicked in the nuts, hell I took off most of the BBT2 because I wasn’t able to have the self confidence to play the way I thought i needed to play to win.

But after that break, I came back, played the game that I know I can do, and have made some money.

So, yes, take the time, call up the new girlfriends (the Wii and backgammon) , but remember you have to get kicked in the nuts a couple of times before you get to kick back. And that simple kick sometimes is the best thing in the world.

Keep up the hard work, clean living and smile. I’ll see you in Okie-Vegas if you come!

Sean

First off, props to your blog bro. Some great posts (read some of your oldies), and I found a lot of insightful tips and fun to read to stories. this top notch reading helps me get through some listless workdays, and some sleepless nights.

Second, the quality of play at Jamie’s game is top notch, and I don’t think you should be too upset with your play. i mean, you were in the money, you had the chips to gamble, AJ vs 77 (i think that was the hand, no?) which is like 54% to 45% is one of those toss up hands (around 54%-46%) that can go either way, and you were going against the loosest guy at the table.

Yeah, you could have played more shrewdly to guarantee 1st/2nd, but
on the other hand, you didn’t dog it either. you made a steal read, and went with it and gambled. oh well, thats gambling…

thats just my humble opinion.

third, as long as you focus on making the correct plays/reads and cards don’t fall your way, what more can you do?

fourth, just have fun bro.

lol when my confidence is down, i play 1.25 SNGs on FT. i pretty much ensure being in the money, and its good for the ego =)

peace out homey.
