Governor Gregoire is anti-Christian

Well it is official for all of you that needed another reason to hate the lame governor of Washington. She lights a menorah, but refuses to have Nativity scene at the Capitol. I hope all Christians in the state of Washington remember this when her term is up.

New ideas

Well, I have come a upon a few realizations over the last few days concerning how to play in MTTs. Last night I decided to put my new found theories into practice. I played 3 tourneys and monied two fo them and final tabled one of them. Two were real nice tests, the third one was a short-handed event so it was not as good due to some donkey at my table.

I picked up some things by analyzing some hand histories on PXF and coming to some conclusions. I ordinarily would share these thoughts in the forum, but that forum has been pretty rude in the past so I am not going to be posting there. Recently I askeds a couple questions directed at the 'pro' players because I want to elevate my game and I wanted to know their thought process, but instead I get one loser player ripping my questions apart and before long it has lost any value.

Forums are a great place where people that are very insignificant in real life to be big men in Cyber life. It really is amazing how many people think that the world revolves around them in these forums. They think of themselves as the cyber police. And by all means, don't disagree with them. I have one guy on PXF that is a cyber stalker that will follow my every post and pick it apart to the point of obsession. It is okay though, because I get enough emails and IMs to tell me that I am not alone in thinking this guy is a whack job. I find it kind of funny because he is such a bad player and yet he tells everyone how badly they play.

I will read the posts and look at hand histories and watch videos, but posting doesn't bring anything positive so it is out.

I am poised to make a real run in 2007 and beyond.

Merry Christmass and a Happy New Year.

Update

Well, not a lot has been happening recently. Thanksgiving was really nice and we had a feast as usual. I have been playing really well and had some nice finishes in some MTTs, which is always nice. I tend to play SNGs (sit-n-gos) more as I can consistenly make money playing those so it is always nice to do well in the Multi-Table Tournaments(MTT).

We are getting ready for the Christmas season as most are. We had some really nasty snowy weather this week which was very unusual. It made Monday Night Football great to watch though, and of course the Seahawks came through like I knew they would. Could the announcers be any more in love with Brett Favre? They kept talking like Hasselbeck was playing so poorly, which just was not even close to accurate. Kornheiser what a baffoon. Bench Matt? moron. I had zero doubt at halftime that we would win that game. The packers really had not done anything on their own and the Hawks just moved up and down the field at will. It was just a matter of time before Brett threw a few to the Hawks and as usual, he was good for it. There are some QBs that you just know are going to toss a few up for grabs and he is one for sure. He should have hung it up a couple years ago. Now he is just an interception throwing machine.

I have tried to really vary my game this week and have just punished some people, which has been a lot of fun. I am really on top of it. I have made a few lifestyle changes as well. I no longer waste my time posting on PokerXfactor forums. It really is a waste as there are so my "geniuses" there. It is a waste of one's time trying to share information or spark discussion only to have these people that for the most part are not very bright rip you apart. There was one guy there that was so jealous for some reason that I never fully understood, but it was like he stalked me ripping apart sentence by sentence any post I made. It really was very amusing. I liked to play with him for a little bit, but it is hard to have a war of wits when the other guy is unarmed.

As Gigabet said, it is very counter-productive posting, because it will lead to negativity and as poker players we should strive to be positive and let that energy flow around us. It works and I have been very happy to not post or share info with the people that are negative. As always there are many people that send me private messages or emails asking for help, and I am only too happy to help anyone that asks me.

Good luck at the tables, and if you are at my table be very very careful.

Well, off to the tables.
