Suck It Twitter

Who says poker blogs are dead? Go read.

If you haven't been paying attention, Bill Rini has been blogging much more often lately. A change in jobs (and locations) might have something to do with it. Bill's posts are always well-written and persuasive with perspective only someone who's spent years on the inside of the online poker business could have. If you're not reading Bill you're missing out.

Blog posts about strategy aren't dead, either. CK put up a beginner's guide to badugi yesterday. If you hunt though her archives, you can also find guides to many other games nobody plays.*

I was inspired enough to give her post the same half-assed read that I've given every poker book I've ever owned and to fire up Stars. Badugi was the only game offered online that I'd never tried. I found that "reading" brought me up in skill level from full-on retard at least to mouthbreathing idiot, which was good enough to outperform most of the opposition. Holy level zero thinking Batman! If you can't beat the people playing nanolimit badugi you might want to take up checkers. Or Connect Four if checkers proves too challenging. Yeesh.

Go. Read.


So there's your poker content for the day. It's time for me to fire up the U.S. Open stream and make sure nothing productive gets done at work. TGIF.


* okay, almost nobody.
