Blog Roast

[ashmc2]

I’d like to start by saying – has anyone checked out the TPFLII points scoreboard lately?
Just jokin’, not being cocky. I’m not even going to make next game (working,) so I’m sure I’m not long for the coveted apex atop mount TPF. No really, has anyone checked out the TPFLII points scoreboard lately? (I printed it out and taped it on the wall beside the poster of Bender from Futurama, with the caption – Bite my metal ass.)

TP, I didn’t put this under my old blog post because it is about everyones’(or mostly everyones,) blogs. And the subject is about how I personally perceive each blog and suggestions for improvements. But if you feel compelled to combine this with some other post, let me be the first to apologize for my ineptitude.

You the Man, JD. I need to play some with you, Zy, TP, and the rest, so I can watch your games' and cure some of my leaks and overall passivity. Looks like your experiment is going as intended, though it looks like some of your swing is coming back. (From the comments you write.)

A couple blog comments – I think a running tally of your earnings (If it’s not too personal) would be a plus. Helps with the overall mental picture IMO. Not that you need any help with those kinds of numbers.)

Also, where’s the links? (Mine, lol, so I can get so readers!)

Figured while I’m on blogs, I mind as well comment on everyones’ that I read. (Any that I don’t mention, I have no link – I would be happy to have it.)

JD - I already commented on yours. I like reading how the other half lives.

Robbie Rob – Holy, that rant – I thought you were Denis Miller for a minute or Ace Ventura came to mind – you could have take all the punctuation marks out, took a deep breath, and said it all as one gargantuan sentence. (I was told if you use a word three times it becomes a part of your vocabulary – So that’s gargantuan once.)
(Smoke signals, was a little over the top.) By the way you can use the voice function also on MSN Messenger. (I think a lot do in those damnable SNG’s – you can really see the chip dumping when the game enters the final stages.) Damn I’m rambling. I’m crazy like that!
A very informative and easy read. I like seeing how It’s going for you in your MTT play.
What’s PMTD?

N1kita – I really like this every couple of days when it is updated. You play so many different games than my straight-up NL ring games, that it is a nice read. I get a little insight it the sick world of limit, plus your information rich text puts me right in the different hands that you describe. A+ (And no, I’m not hitting on your woman, Rob.) Visually rich easy read.
One thing that would help I think would be a running bankroll tally. (Once again, if it isn’t too personal.) (Hell, I started out with $25 bucks on the penny tables.)

Mayhem45 – What a let down. Back in JD’s original blog post, you come on strong with the I’m also going too comply with JD’s goal standard and do this test of skill myself speech – and then nothing. I’m left wanting. (Does it sound like I have no life here? Be honest. LOL.) Apparently you have some living arrangement issues – moving out on your own or something along those lines. Kick that cardboard box down to the end of the alley and get the DSL hooked up in it (put the computer next to the pickle jar. Damn man, how sick, that’s no pickle,) and lets ROCK.

Reel Deal – Are you even alive? Or currently lost on some deserted island in the south Pacific. (I can just faintly make out in the distance the wailing of – Wilsonnnnnn.) Sad really. So build that raft out of logs and discarded airplane parts, get your self back to civilization, and update your damn blog. It looks promising with the in-depth tournament summaries and hand analyses.

Brian – Yours is a crazy mix of poker, personal, and articles. I like it. It works. I think that it is actually well put together. Though a little more poker summaries and how you did would be nice.

Anyone else – hook me up with a link.

If anyone has any suggestions, concerns, or comments, feel free. (If anyone actually reads it?)

Figured I post something positive since there's been so much negativity lately because of Stewart's dumb ass.

I was kinda upset. Actually I emailed Nikki at work after I wrote it and said "I guess I was more upset about that than I thought." I've said what I had to say now though.

Damn, never thought about voicechat on MSN. Add that to the list.

Funny you should mention Miller. I love "Rants". Maybe I should have started off that little post with "Is it just me or..."

PMTD is Previous Month to Date. April was, by and far, my worst month EVER for playing poker so what I'm doing is posting my current MTD as well as where I was on the same day last month (read: how far in the hole I was).

I'm thinking of maybe adding a graph in there somehow comparing the two months. It'll be easy to do, it's just a matter of doing it...

Thanks for the comments on the blog. I enjoy writing them and occasionally crank out a good post or two. Also, as you've likely seen, I occasionally live blog a tourney I'm in. It's hard though. I'm writing about one hand and by the time I'm finished it's usually about 12 hands later.

[ashmc2]

I think your doing a good job.

[Nikita]

Thanks, ash.

Although first off, I will admit I'm no limit expert. I've been dabbling at the limit cash games because I suck at both. You can't improve unless you practice. I'm sure some of the losses I've taken is because I've chased too much or capped when I shouldn't have. Funny, I didn't use to read shabi's HHs but I do now to try and figure out what I need to change.

As for the running tally, I've been thinking of adding it. I probably will now. I should make it nice and pretty like Rob's.

And it's funny you mentioned $25 at the penny tables. I started out that way too. I just moved to the MTTs and SNGs and have build up my bankroll from that. I really got to stop dabbling in what I'm not so good at and get back to where I can make real money.

Edit: I've added the tally to my blog.

[Akverno]

I love it. And I agree, if either of you was willing to cheat people on a league event for that small amount of money it would be pretty pathetic. I haven't played with you guys yet, but I assume that robbie will call the all in after the steal attempt next time I'm home in a week so I should be at some league events soon.

[Talking Poker]

I have absolutely nothing to add to this thread, but I like it.

Carry on.

[MAYHEM45]

How about just an "lol" HEwong style?

New post fuckers, no content, but its something.

[JDMcNugent7]

Thanks Ash.
I think the BR tally thing is a good idea too - the only problem is i need to figure out what my BR is first (I have $ all over the place right now).

But soon enough I will have the tally's goin again.

Also, I must be an idiot but i honestly cant figure out how to add links. I want to add all the ones Rob hooked us up with awhile ago tho.

Someone PM me - I'll give u my blog password and u can get on and add the links for me cuz im really too dumb to figure it out.

Move over Tony Robbins, there’s a motivational speaker in town.

I knew I could get you punks motivated. Damn, even Reel Deal and Mayhem updated.

Thanks also goes out to Robbie Rob for introducing me to my new favorite word: ASSHATS
