Hide In Shadows

P0ker ++

My life is basically work, eat, sleep, and it has been like that for a good while. I havent really done anything even vaguely social for the last 5 months or so. Outside the sun is shining and I know the water is great at the beach, but there just hasnt been any time for it.

In the evenings when I come home from work, I usually just wedge out in front of the TV or read a book. I have been working hard on improving my card game though. Like I mentioned in a post last year, I decided that I wanted to get really good at p0ker, and I have been working systematically at it for about a year now.

It is starting to pay off, and this week I had a 13th position finish in a heat of 2500 players tournament, and yesterday I had a very good run and finished 4th in a 2000 players game. I only play really low entry level tournaments. Usually the daily $5+1 buy-in at Party P0ker (which starts around when I get home from work), and sometimes on weekends the $5000 freeroll.

Doing these low buy-in tournaments gives me a tremendous amount of experience when it comes to dancing through and surviving 1500-2500 players. Since the buy-in is so low, you usually have to dodge at least 1000 complete maniacs, playing crazy hands, chasing your bids all the way to the river, bluffing left and right. It is very hard work - really tough, but I am having a lot of fun while at the same time learning to master no-limit p0ker practically for free.

I think playing these cheap tourneys also give me a bit of an edge, since I dont really care about the money, so when everyone else is tightening up when we get closer and closer to winning something, I can shift gear and play a little bit more aggressive than most other players.

This week I won about $700 total in price money and I am feeling pretty good about my game. Still have a lot to learn though.

Next week I am going to Norway for a week visiting my girlfriend, and then she will come with me back to Greece and stay for 4 weeks. Really looking forward to seeing her again. I have this weird hermit gene that makes me just forget there is a world outside my offices at work or at home, but she does a great job dragging me out to do all kinds of stuff, and we always have a lot of fun together.

Coming back to this, I wanted to say that something like No-Limit Agon Kill'em would be a great game to have within DF. Lots of people would probably play it and it would be a "mini"-game most people would be quite content with.

Chess can come later. :D
