Six months of poker & no blog... wass up'?

½ a year, 140th of my life expectancy has gone by since I have added to this blog.

If there were any readers before this, which I suspect there were not anyway, (based on the number of comments, I had received,) there are certainly none now.

So, why I am adding to this?

I guess to be really honest, it is because it helps me focus, on what I am doing with my poker.
It gives me a historical timeline. And it is “feedback” that let’s me know how my thinking has changed or stayed the same over time. I also very much hope others will read it at some point, be helped by it, and enjoy it. I know I enjoy and read on a daily basis five other poker blogs.

I may also have just contributed to one of the great metaphysical questions in history. If a tree falls in the forest……? Is winking in the dark, really flirting…?, and is a blog that no one reads really a blog….?

I have been steadily playing poker these last six months, averaging 25-40 hours a week in live play. I am still on my original bankroll and have a small net gain. I would have a much bigger one if I didn’t include my on-line play.

Others tell me they win all the time on-line. I want to believe that. I keep going back to on-line, believing the “grass is greener” on the other side of the fence from “live play” at the clubs & casinos. However, I win often at live games. I never have had a winning week on-line.

That can probably be explained because I am a “visual represented” person according to Neuro-linguistics. Finished grad school in Psychology, been a Pastor and a psychotherapist for years. Duh, none of that experience seems to help on-line or has any relevance.

Even though I have played a lot of poker these last six months I am one of the few who didn’t go to WSOP. Why? Because I like staying in my RV, and Vegas is just too darn hot in the summer. Also, I have been the primary guardian during the day, to a little puppy named pokey, but that is a whole other story I will tell you about later.
