I like big numbers and I cannot lie

Dear pokerpeople,

As you know, the wsop 2011 is amongst us. With ‘amongst us’ I mean that most of us aren’t even near vegas, but we sit at home and refresh our webbrowsers to get some news on some punk who went out partying too late the night before and is now making terrible calls. When that is done, we go check the blogs of those punks, reading that they feel they are running terrible and they are ‘due’ for a bracelet, rather sooner than later. If we are really courageous, we even read their tweets about how they ran so bad that their 5-bet-shoves get called by big pairs. We are a different breed of people, and each of us likes some pokerplayers better than others. But there’s one thing we all got in common: we like to read about the money, the f dough.

How is your game?

Paul McCartney once answered me this question (see topic title). He told me it was ‘getting better, a little better all the time (it can’t get more worse). I have to admit it’s getting better (better) It’s getting better since you’ve been mine’. Now, I was just as surprised as you are by that last sentence, but the man made an interesting point. Do our poker games just get better all the time? Obviously: no. › Continue reading
