I have come to 2 conclusions..... Conclusion # 1 Money takes the fun out of poker for me. I hate losing money playing poker. Winning money playing poker is nice, but it's not why I play. I love the game. Conclusion # 2...... Most people play poker differently when money is not involved. If you play at free sites people bet like drunking sailors on a weekend pass. They play like manaics. The other day I played a sit & go for play chips. Within 10 hands I was heads up with my original 1500 chips. I did not play a hand. The funny thing was 20 hands later I won. Boy was the other guy pissed. I would love to play a serious poker game without money involved like there was money involved. Is that too much to ask? I've found an online poker school where you pay a monthly fee and the players are there to learn the game and they take it very serious. The site is www.pokerschoolonline.com I highly recommend it if you want to strenghen your game.

Welcome to my Poker World

Welcome to my blog.. Who came up with this self indulging, self important means of communiqué anyway? Is anyone going to actually read this? Or is this just a therapeutic way of ranting and raving? We all think what we have to say is so important that we must publish our lives on the internet for the world to read. I mean we are all so busy. We multi task, organize, and hurry up so we have time to blog? I guess this is just a poor man’s pod cast. Pod cast, someone will have to explain that to me someday. Anyway, I figured I would keep a diary of my poker life, my ups and downs. I hope this doesn’t become a bad beat diary. I play poker. My game of choice is No Limit Texas Holdem. It has become a passion. I play on numerous online poker sites. I play for small stakes; the largest cash game table I’ve sat at was $.25 & $.50. I also play Single Table Tournaments at the $5.00 & $10.00 buy in range. I started to do this to get my mind off tilt. I figure every time I get steamed at the poker table I will take a break and write. Thanks for stopping by.
