It's been a while since I've played.

Started again with free $10 on Ultimatebet. Also had like $34 on Pokerstars.

I've done well when I haven't gotten tired, impatient, and arrogant.

The problem is that I've been there and done that. I've kicked the crap out of people up to the 2/3 NL blind level. It takes me discipline and patience to do well though.

Bought in too big to get revenge, played too many speculative pots, the usual BS. Obviously I didn't get big hands that played themselves either. But, that's entirely besides the point. To do well, you have to play with discipline and patience.

Far too distracted with a new life, new partner, and two new jobs. Out of rhythm. Always good to lose small on the way to winning big.


If you're actually reading this, I salute you.

I'm really quite excited about my new consumer product business. 450 exclusive products, 600 deals with affiliate web sites. 250 brands in store for more. Over 100k products total.

Check out bengoods.com. If you do, I'll set you up for wholesale prices there.

May you flop 'em dead.

Cereus, the owners of Absolute and Ultimatebet still acting sketchy...

Relax, though, it's still probably almost only at the higher limits.
