Welcome

Hello all, welcome to my online poker blog.

I've been playing on and off for a decade after being introduced by a friend.

I played regularly for a few years during the poker boom and had a decent record at the micros, particularly Rush and Zoom No Limit Hold'em games (here's one of my graphs).

Around 2012 I began a new career which involved immersing myself completely in study in my spare time, so I had little to no time for poker. However recently this burden has eased and so I have been gradually dipping back in.

I'm an amateur player who still hopes to some day beat the rake.

Good Morning.

While looking for that low blinds push/fold table I spoke about previously I managed to dig out my copy of "Kill Everyone" by Nelson, Streib and Lee. It's a brilliant book. Here's why:
1/ While reading on the bus I was able to discretely flash the book title every time someone got on and managed to have the seat to myself for the entire journey.
2/ It's got to be the best damn tournament book ever written. I really can't see how any other book could even come close. It's comprehensive... Not only did I succeed in finding the (far from the money, or chip EV stage of the tournament) push fold charts I spoke about yesterday, I found some unexploitable 3-bet shove charts - how did I miss these first time through?!? And some charts to help with calling all-ins. It also has the most comprehensive section on tournament bubble equities and strategy adjustments I've seen in print. I think I must have had my head in the clouds the last time I read this book. Why it doesn't have a permanent place on my desk is way beyond me. Well, at least I've just rectified that. Please buy this book, just take a leap faith - it's only $30.
Right, random plug over. Going to watch a couple HU videos this morning then leap into some HU games and have an MTT or two running in the background. I need to adjust my HUD so hope that doesn't take too long. I am currently using specialist stats for HU games. In an MTT I'm not sure I really want to know how often someone is raising my limp from the BB. OK, GL all.
