I've really been playing well lately but I've taken some harsh beats. I'm not going to post any HH's because I'm sure you're sick of complaining. I haven't been making the money the last couple nights but I did have a win on Bdog. It was a win in a $1 dollar MTT for a whopping $24. I keep getting coolered in the Bounty, KO, and $10's, and then when I get a score it's in a tournament field of 79 players. Basically, it was a f***ing sng. I usually don't play in this tournament but there are some new strategies I'm trying out, which I didn't want to try at stakes higher than $6. Another night, some more tourneys, so who knows what's in store.

I keep reading posts about ppl having some sort of bankroll challenge. Good for you! Your supposed to build your f***ing bankroll. I really don't understand the idea behind these posts.

There's also the posts of a HH where someone obviously plays the hand the correct way but they post the f***ing thing anyway to get verification asking,"What did I do wrong here? Can I play this any different?." YES YOU CAN PLAY IT DIFFERENTLY! JUST FOLD THE AA PREFLOP. BETTER YET, PLAY THE HAND, GET SUCKED OUT ON, THEN GO GET DAD'S .22 AND SHOOT YOURSELF. QUIT POSTING HH WHERE THERE IS AN OBVIOUS ANSWER BECAUSE YOU ARE WASTING THE TIME OF MANY PPL WHO OPEN THE GODDAMN THING.

How can I talk about this without mentioning one of the most common posts? The posts that read "Poker is rigged," "I'd done from poker," "I can't beat the bad players," "I know I'm good but what am I doing wrong." Okay here's the bottom line... WE DON'T GIVE A SHIT IF YOU KNOW HOW TO PLAY OR YOU THINK POKER IS RIGGED. WE ALSO DON'T CARE IF YOU ARE GOING TO QUIT PLAYING POKER TO BECOME AN ORDAINED MINISTER. WE BASICALLY JUST DON'T GIVE A SHIT. QUIT POSTING HOW YOU ARE DONE PLAYING POKER BECAUSE YOU HAVE A $50 BANKROLL AND YOU LOST IT PLAYING $5 DOLLAR SNGS. STOP IT! WE AREN'T GOING TO BEG YOU AND YOUR POOR SKILLS AND BANKROLL MANAGEMENT TO COME BACK TO THE GAME. If you have a question about a tough decision then by all means post the damn thing. If the statement or question doesn't bring anything to the table then don't put it on the damn board.

One more thing to follow the last paragraph. STOP trying to get girls in bed by writing how you're going to take your $400 and turn pro. This is absolutely repulsive and if I was a mod. I would insta-ban anybody that makes such a stupid claim.

For all the Tom Dwan fanboys. He is sooner or later going to get his pompous ass handed to him and it's simply a matter of time. When you play such an aggressive style and run hot as hell for so long it's bound to catch up with you. Just check out his results in the last month alone. When is he going to come out? I'm willing to lay 3-1 that it happens this year. Just think if FT can sign him they'd make a killing with those that are "proud".

Wow is the Pokernews.com traffic that slow that they have to have an article suggesting that DN and Barry G are busto? Yep, we all buy into that one. I'm sure they are flat broke. That site lost all repect from me. I was also going trough past posts on 2+2 and I came across an interesting discussion of Arnold Snyder's tournament book to which Mason Malmuth got into an arguement by saying that the pace of a tournament has no relation to how you play. This is clearly WRONG!!!!!!!! He (Mason) also goes on to contradict himself SEVERAL times while still suggesting that one should purchase the book. It's not a twoplustwo book mind you and perhaps that's the reason why he's trying to convince himself along with the twoplustwo crowd that the pace of tournaments don't matter. He still recommends the book though because, think about it... if some ppl disagree with him, he stills wants to retain some form of credibility. That's another pompous SOB that I've lost all respect.

Ppl are also convinced that Jamie Gold is busto because he was spotted playing 10/20 at the Venetian. Clearly buying into a game for 2k means someone is broke. That would be my first impression. He maintains his day job plays in a 2k buy-in game but he's perceived as "broke". Get a f***ing life.

Isn't this blog boring enough to be featured?
