We now return to our regularly scheduled Blog, already in progress...

I've decide to give this Blogging thing another try. A few of the players in my home games are now blogging their poker adventures, and other people actually want to read what I have to say (weird, I know.) I'm not sure how long this will last, or how often I will post, but I'll give it my best shot.

Since my last post in January, it hasn't been a good year for my Poker. I had a terrible run of cards over the summer. I actually went busto in August. The cards have improved a little in the last six weeks, but the rebuilding of the bankroll is going slow. It's up a little over 1k right now, which is ok for my home games and a few casino trips. When I get it over 2k, I can start to take some shots in $2/$5 at both Motor City and Nautica.

I've practically given up on Online Poker. It's rare that I play, and when I do, it's only for an hour or two. I've been playing mostly Limit Hold'em. I think it's my weakest game, so I've been trying to get better at it. I also think that Limit Poker is better suited for online play.

On the Road Trip front, new places I've visited this year are Reno in May, Argosy (Hollywood) Casino in July, and last weekend I was in Atlantic City. Reno has a lot of casinos, but it's not much of a poker town. Limit Hold'em is big in Reno, but most of it is either 2/4 or 3/6. There is only one 'big' room, the Peppermill, and the biggest regular games it has is 20/40 Limit Hold'em, and 5/5 NLHE.

Hollywood Casino, formerly Argosy, is located outside of Cincinnati, just over the border in Indiana. They opened up a new 45 table poker room, and it is gorgous. It is one of the best rooms in this part of the country, along with the Horseshoe Hammond. The WPT is coming to Hollywood in March, and I might just sneek down there for an event or two.
