SHOVEANDSEE POKER CHALLENGE!?!
Hello all,
This challenge has a few moving parts and admittedly a few parts undecided. This may in fact become more of a blog than an actual challenge but somewhere in here I will be discussing some poker. Who duh thunk it!?!
I will try my best to not make it the lamest content you’ve ever read; time will tell if I can succeed. This also means I will be making a time commitment to writing something worth reading. Worse come to worse stop in and tell me to I've failed and you'd rather watch paint dry. My therapist tells me that I’m a negatively motivated person, so at least on my end you'll be helping me.
There will likely be some graphs and I may even throw in some thoughts on SSNL live session play. I haven’t played live yet this year but I will.
No, bikini girl thread savers will not be included-but you are more than welcome to google the images whilst you scroll this content-I can’t stop you nor would I try. The internet is a dirty sticky wonderland…
The beginning focus of this challenge is internet poker; more specifically 6 max NL and NL MTTs and we will get to it (promise). We are starting at the bottom and playing on Americas Card Room (ACR). I'm American, hold it against me if you must. This challenge was officially started (or planned) four days ago; hence we already have some minor results...
By all means if something I write strikes you stop in and say hello.
First a brief poker intro and why:
First poker game I learned was Omaha 8. This was the only game in town. This was at a time when poker wasn’t as cool (or sick as the kids say) or as commercialized (and sold out) as it is now. Obviously, before the Moneymaker boom. Poker was pure dirty. If you played it you were most likely a degenerate. Naw, that last line was too soft… If you played poker you were a degenerate. No doubt.
I would classify myself somewhere between the old and new school. At 37 years old I would say my leanings are for the old school. I mean what other flag should a 37 year old plant? In poker years I’ve somehow gotten old…
When I started playing holdem’ at 19 it was me and a bunch of 50+ year old men around the felt. I miss these games so much. When you’re this young a ten or twelve hour session feels like two hours, you can’t get enough. The older you get the minute’s creek by in opposite, though this is actually less relevant to age than it is experience at the felt… Or so I’ve convinced myself…
I loved these “old school” games not because I was crushing them (which I wasn’t) but because at this time poker was more about something entirely different than it is today...
I want the passion back and I want to play poker in my pajamas as much as possible. The only way for this to happen is with improvement. I know my strengths playing live, but I'm yet to discover my strengths in regards to internet poker.
Can I achieve some success?
To Be Continued…
