Falling in the Fall
October has not started off well. I seem to win a little on a couple tables. Then I lose on a third. And the cycle repeats itself. My tournament play has not gone well either. I haven't been making good decisions lately.
I bought NHL 06 hoping it will give me something else to take my mind off poker here and there. Wednesday is the start of the NHL season and I'm getting really excited for the start of the season. Our fantasy draft was Sunday night and my team looks half decent. I ended up getting the first pick of the draft and just didn't know who to pick. I took Brodeur in 2004 and my forwards suffered so I decided to take Joe Sakic this time around. I settled for Vokoun (Nashville) and DiPietro (Islanders) in the nets but I think both of them are going to have great years.
I also bought two new poker books I hope will help. The first is Phil Gordon's Little Green Book. It is basically him explaining how he plays NL tournaments. So far I really like it and I think it was definitely worth buying. The other is Zen and the Art of Poker by Larry Phillips. It is ok so far. A lot of little generalizations to help keep you focused and improve your game. I've read probably the first 40 pages of each. The next book I'd like to get is King Yao's Weighing the Odds. They didn't have it at Barnes and Noble so I guess I'll try to get it elsewhere.
That's it for now. May the flop be with you!
