First Post of 2013! It's Time To Resurrect This Blog

Well, hello there. 

I found my old blog here when I was roaming around Google's new "one ID for everything" bullshit and I noticed that I hadn't posted in over a year.  Well, I think it's time to get back to whining on the internet for all to see.  Well, sort of.  I don't want to whine and cry about poker, I want to share my feelings and maybe make some improvements.

Where've I been?  Well, mostly working and playing.  The opening of the Horseshoe Cleveland caused me to become even more obsessed with poker than before.  I've spent the past year + obsessively playing $3/6 limit (with the sometimes $1/2 game).  I've also been working a lot.  I'm still tracking my play, and I am happy to report that I am on pace to do twice as well as I did last year at poker.  That is, I've only lost half what I did last year.

Lost?

Oh yeah, overall I am still a losing player, but this year the amount is marginal.  I've played thousands upon thousands of live hands and (I think) gotten a firm grasp on the game of limit poker.  I know, it's $3/6 not $20/40, but I like the idea that I have gotten BETTER!  Sadly, my only profitable game this past year has been $1/2, but I rarely play it because I still can't handle the swings. 

So, once again I am planning on making this blog a weekly habit.  I will begin semi-promoting it on Facebook, if that annoys you I apologize and will try to keep it to a minimum.  Starting Monday (probably) I will begin doing a weekend recap of my poker play, with the occasional rant on non poker topics. 

Welcome back, old friends.
