Blog
Just been looking through some stats and my blog has had over 500,000 hits since I started tracking it a few years ago. That’s a lot of people that have read bad beat stories
I skipped EPT Barcelona, wasn't feeling so good on the morning of the tourney, so thought I’d chill out and enjoy Barcelona. It’s definitely in the top three cities in Europe IMO.
It’s the WSOPE starting this Friday. It’s good to have some decent tournaments just a few miles from home, and I’m sure it’s an advantage not living out of a hotel room.
Still running at about break even for 5/6 weeks online. If my running bad means breaking even for a while, that’s cool. I'm playing a bit smaller just to take it easy for a while.
I also came across something funny from theASHMAN103 blog, to quote:
I continue all through the morning very tired and in the mood to just keep running it up. Unfortunately I get stuck $100k in Omaha for the day and lose a ton to this mega clown named Ben Grundy. This hand tilted me to no end just for the sole fact that he wins my stack for playing the hand how he did. Rare monkey species. A hybrid if you will.

LOL whilst i may have got lucky in the hand, his call preflop is so dumb i can see why he is on a close to $1 million downswing. In a six handed game my four bet preflop is nearly always a hand that totally dominates his like AAxx, AKKQ, AKQJ ... if i four bet preflop his AQJ9 hand is ahead less than 10% of the time, and is often completely dominated. As it happened he caught a rare time when he was a slight favourite, but he would rarely have over 30% chance given the action.
Ashman if you think I’m a clown i will play you any day you like $50/$100 Heads UpPLO ....
