Meh

So, my buddy Neff told me he is planning on moving up to the $100 NL HU games because he feels like he is one of the best at the $50. Now, that does not surprise me because I think his feel for the NL game is one of the better ones around. What does surprise me is how fast he did it. Less than 2 months and he is ready to roll. I know I still feel lost often playing NL against any aggressive opponent, so I would love to feel like he does. Maybe soon.

Played some HU this morning against the most ABC player I have ever seen. I worked really hard to trying to discover patterns and this guy was a wide open book. He checked ANY flop that didn't hit him and bet pot on any that did. Needless to say, I took him for 4 BI's.

Won a bit more on Bodog, then donked off almost $100 in dumb donkaments including a flip fest on FT. They run these super turbos which are $29 and you only get 100 chips. Blinds are 15/30 and 3 minute rounds. I passed for the first round and there were only 5 left. I ended up with all my chips in the middle with the hammer. It failed to live up to it's reputation, so that $29 was down the drain.

I have a long way to go to hit April goals, but I do know I will get the hands in. With The Spouse out of town, I have most nights to myself for the month, so hopefully, they will be good nights and I can turn this early April debacle around and charge toward my yearly goals.

I really want to be "up" enough by the early part of June to take part in 1 or both of FT and PS massive WSOP satellites. Both are around $5-600, so if I am above my goals by a grand at that point, I am going to do it.

Did you hear about this? This WSOP is thinking about having the final table of the ME televised "live" 90 days after the tourney...kinda like Survivor, Biggest Loser, etc. After thinking about it, I think it is a great idea. It has proven to be a ratings bonanza for TV in the past, so why not try it. I know that now that I am more in tune with blogs and 2+2 and all live poker updates, I didn't look forward to ESPN's 2007 WSOP coverage near as much as 2006 or 2005. So, this works for me. They are going to have to dress it up a bunch as there is a LOT of downtime at a poker tourney, but I think this has potential. Knowing that they are going to have to be on a delay gives them some flexibility to put in the fluff pieces about people at the final table and still not worry about time constraints. If they find the right time for it, hopefully, they can block up enough hours to do it. Maybe bring ESPN2 into this.

Interesting post here from Leatherass. Gets you thinking about what you want to accomplish in poker. I am pretty sure I don't know yet for me.

Later all
