High Stakes Poker back on television
Just got back into the only poker television show worth watching. This season has been referred to as “the Tom Dwan show” and it certainly appears that way from watching an hour and a half or so. It’s hard to know how many tedious hands they edit out where somebody opens and everyone else folds, and unlike televised tournaments they don’t give live chips counts so you can’t even tell who’s up.
I’m a little curious about Daniel Negreanu’s play, he does some strangely fishy things like open-limping the button. I’m sure there is a good reason for this – he seems to tinker with his style pretty regularly so I suppose limping is just a randomizing strategy against very good players.
A Release
I’ve returned from a Vegas weekend. We decided to extend the weekend by 1 day. It was nice not having anywhere else to be. This was definitely a trip for celebrating and releasing. I found myself start to get a bit frustrated when I thought about losing my job. It never got to the point.. why me? I don’t question my abilities. I knew why my number came up and it didn’t have anything to do with my work.
