The past couple months have been, for the most part, a poker hiatus. As I had mentioned in an earlier post, the anti-gambling legislation really turned me off to playing. I've played in the WPBT tournaments that Biggestron has set up, but that has been about it.
Well, it's a new day, and I'm getting back on the poker horse. The WBPT winter classic is coming up in 4 weeks in Las Vegas and I'd prefer not to suck it up in front of the "real" poker players. I'm going to try to play as much as possible until I go to Vegas in December. I also need to reread the Harrington books, so I can remember how I'm supposed to be playing.
How am I doing so far? Well, the first SNG I played was a disaster, the best hand I had the whole time was K9s and that blew up when the board came down 23K45 and the other guy had an A. At least I didn't do anything irrational during the game, though it was painful folding 25 straight hands.
We'll see how I do over the next month, hopefully I'll get lucky in Vegas and make the money. In the summer I won a $100 consolation prize donated by an online poker site that has now left the US market.
On an mostly unrelated note, poker blogfather Iggy is putting his blog Guinness and Poker on hiatus. He's, so far, not saying what he's going to be doing instead. Al Can't Hang (another poker blogger) has a hilarious (and long) eulogy for the blog. I was late to start reading Iggy's uber-posts, but what I did real was always funny, usually insightful, and regularly intelligent.
