Poker Absentia

I haven’t played a single hand of Poker since the DADI H.O.R.S.E tournament last week. Just couldn’t find the time. H.O.R.S.E was a kick ass time though. I’d say I did pretty well (Bubbled the final table) considering I had never played 3 of the 5 games. I obviously made a ton of mistakes that cost me somewhat, my biggest one being overplaying a pair of aces in O8/B hand that cost me 3/4 of my stack. Never really had a chance to recover and that was it for my ass. Really looking forward to playing another one though!

Meanwhile, I’ve still been pounding the Casino bonuses. I avoided going busto on William Hill, cashing out with a 10$ profit. While it is a tragedy, I’ll gladly take it considering how down and out I was throughout this one. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to redeem myself on their monthly reloads.

While I truly appreciate the break from grinding the LHE tables to Gamboool it up at Casinos, it’s pretty clear that the quality of my blog has suffered deeply because of it. I’m not a really good writer (English IS my second language after all) so it’s a bit hard for me to bang out 1000+ word essays about my daily non-adventures. Now if we consider my laughable Poker Skilz, it’s quite obvious my game is not up to snuff to put out solid, thought provoking Poker strategery content. I’m still fairly new to this blogging thing so hopefully I manage to find my voice sooner than later.

Whatever Poker I’ve allowed myself to play this month (Tournaments) will even have to make way this week for other obligations. Mostly Fantasy Hockey drafts, or hockey pools for us canucks. I have a few sessions setup for today and tomorrow which, unfortunately, conflicts with the Mookie and the WWDN. Hopefully next week!
