Silence is golden

Wow, time flies when one is playing poker! I hadn't realized that it's been so long since I wrote anything. One of the games that I am happiest about is that Fado has added poker back to their Monday night schedule! It was great to see people that I hadn't seen in 7 months or so...and it was wonderful to have a reason to go back to Fado!

Got an invitation to the WBPT to be held during SXSW....more information is on April's blog, http://www.thisisnotapokerblog.com/

I think that would be so cool--to be able to meet the people that I read! Too bad I won't be able to play....more on why, later!

I went to my first cash game in over a month---and it seems that I have been playing so many league tournaments--that my game sucked! I felt like a fish out of water---and I actually felt like I was a beginner again. Yet again proof that there is some level of skill involved with playing poker (I KNOW that....but if I had a dollar for everytime someone told me that it is all luck---well, I think I would have enough money for the WPT Bellagio buy-in!)

Last night, someone asked me how many nights a week I am playing poker...and I sheepishly admitted that I was playing 6-7 nights a week. Doesn't seem like alot when I am doing it---but saying that I am playing poker every night...well...that is another story.

I guess it is like any other sport though---gotta play to improve!

The other excitement I guess is that the poker journal is getting great feedback! I've been donating it as a prize at some of the tournaments that I have been playing...and several people have committed to buying one.....wooooohoooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kind of strange having people ask me to sign their book!
