Intro

Hey I decided to start this blog to keep track of all my stakes that I'm playing and the ones that I'm giving out on a daily basis. Guess a intro would be in order in case you don't know who I'am.

My names Brian and I own a website and currently just play stakes for other people, it didn't start out this way I struggled a lot in poker when I 1st started out. I went though the horrible runs over and over and I think it helped me a lot to eliminate the emotion from my game. Now people still cry to me all the time about hey I run bad here and I run bad there and my normal response is "join another one" that is the only way to work through your bad runs. I don't suggest stopping for the night because I don't feel that helps you in the long run, of course it means you wont run bad anymore that night but if you play through your bad run it improves you as a player. I also don't believe on blaming you losing on bad beats, honestly when my friends try to tell me a bad beat I cut them off and say give me a $1. At 1st this confused them but now they realize that is what I charge just for listening to a bad beat story.

like take this for instance this hand came up 9 handed at a final table of a $4 180, I was in Big blind with 3-4 and flop came down 338. I was on messenger with my Buddie and told him "UT OH" and "this could get ugly" he replied with no dude your good. Something just wasn't right when I raised OOP on flop I got 3 callers and I really thought I could be behind. Well I lead out turn and committed myself, this was a play mistake right here. I should of checked and then evaluated what to do, I would most likely of folded to any bet but instead I went broke there. I joined 2 more 180s and took 5th in one of them. This is what I mean by playing through your bad runs, I ran bad made some mistakes and went out 9th and turned back around and took 5th.


Think I will end my little intro here you will get to know me more as blog progresses.
