Writing and playing poker as if they were activities worth doing well.

Put To The Test

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

La la la la la la.

Ugh.

You're assuming we don't want to hear them. I think you're wrong.

How am I supposed to engage in Schadenfreude if I do not have a decent description of other's misfortunes?

You discuss the discussing of bad beat stories. Instead why don't you post some hands you played and open that up for discussion?

@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.

I downloaded hand histories from some seriously atrocious beats and thought I'd write about them. Then I managed to retrieve all of the money I lost and somehow they just didn't matter as much. I played it right; they played it wrong; end of story.
