Must. Not. Tell. Bad. Beat. Stories.

La la la la la la.

Ugh.

Cardgrrl said...: @Wolynski: Thanks for the suggestion. I admit with some chagrin that my eyes generally glaze over when reading blogs with hand histories in them. It's a weakness of mine, I freely confess. It's only very rarely that I experience a hand that I find sufficiently different, compelling, or educational that I can a) remember it in enough detail to convey it accurately and b) tell it in such a way that others will find it equally interesting.

The poker blogging and forum world is full of opportunities for people to share their nuts and bolts strategic advice and experiences. I don't think it's a strong point of mine, for the most part.

I am, however, open to doing this should a sufficiently intriguing hand come along.; 3/15/09, 1:42 PM
