Dave L. Requires Medical Attention.

I think Dave is going to need medical attention. He must have woke up with some sort of injury. The reason why is because Dave didn't just get hit with the deck he got smashed, hit, elbowed, smacked, kneed, and I think he even got felt up by the the deck. Dave was the big winner profiting over $200. Dave was destined to win last night. For a while there he couldn't lose a single pot. Ace kings got busted by jack4, straights got busted by runner runners, and raising pre flop became useless. I don't think I have ever seen such a run of cards in all my poker playing. However, I do think Dave was due for a big cash. There were many players last night that could not make anything connect. I was one of those donks. After the game I had a brief conversation with Dave, John, and Eric. We discussed our play for the evening and poker theory and strategy. Each of us were on the same page about most everything. But like you can expect there were comments made about strategy that I didn't agree with. This is why I love this game. Everyone has their own game they play. I have found a way to play that is profitable for me 80% of the time. My way may be the worst way for the next guy but it works for me. I am by no means the best poker player, but I offer this advice. If your style of play or your knowledge of the game is profitable 25% of the time then you probably need to reevaluate how to change your game. You want your win rate percentege to be as high as it possibly can be. The best feeling for a player is to start the year with a bankroll of $300 and to never have to look back the entire year. I suggested to the 3 guys left last night to register with pokercharts.com this site will help determine if your style of play is a winning style. Congrats to Dave for a great cash last night. I hope whatever injury you might have obtained from the deck heals up quickly.

  1. I checked out pokercharts, and I must say I really like it. With only 2 sessions currently entered it doesn't give me much helpful information statistically so far, but a place to record my reflections on my play, and my opponents' play, on a per-session basis is very useful. Thanks for the recommendation!
