What have I been doing?

Actually, contrary to lack of posting, I’ve been playing and STUDYING a lot of poker.

About a month ago, I went to Harrah’s and played like a complete donkey. I mean, the worst I’ve played since I started playing poker. It was pretty bad. Then when I got AK in the BB… and after raising it… then the flop coming down KK2… I still lost a huge stack to a stubborn guy who stuck around with pocket 2s.

Let me tell you… I was sick. But even before that, I was living up to the adage that when you can’t spot the sucker at the table, etc etc.

So, I hit the books. I hit the websites. I took time to improve my game.

A few days ago, I went to Boomtown and played a little 3/6 limit. Now, limit is very different game, but I was able to put some of my new skills to the test and made some incredibly good laydowns that allowed me to only lose $35 of my $100 buy-in after about 3 hours of play. Seriously! More about this later, but let’s just say that Liz (my friend) and I saw THREE four-of-a-kinds in 3 hours of play! Insane. I was lucky to walk out of there with only $35.

I got some book reviews coming, some quizzes and some crazy stories (no bad beat stories though!).
