Has anyone mentioned scantily clad ladies...?


Seriously tho - as well as poker it's great to hear about those slices of life away from the tables... the weirdos - the oddballs - the great meals etc.  Kinda Edwin Hopper in words blog.

wow,
i didn't know big changes were afoot jim...gl out there, i'll sure you'll make a good living.
i'd like to be kept informed about where & what you are eating please,
good luck!

Translated = let me know where you are so I can come and stay for free.

I would love to read a blog about your experiences Jim. You will be missed at Luton and it would be great to keep in touch with what you're doing do when we come and stay see you you don't have to go through it again and again and again. 

I have found writing a blog very cathartic, and it helps me keep things in perspective it makes me realise what an idiot I have been.

Please do it Jim - I for one would live to read it.

I hardly read blogs..there are too many people who think someone gives a crap about their bad beat stories that I've given up on reading most poker related blogs.

If you are only going to post about how the drunken tourist made a stupid play and took all your money by hitting a one-outer on the river than I would say noone will give a crap about your blog. If you give an honest account on live in Vegas and the poker scene and it's ups and downs it could be well worth a read and I would surely give it a whack. Don't just write about poker hands also write about the atmosphere (which Snoopy for instance does very well) of the places you play..and write, like I said, about Vegas and what it's like to live there as a poker player.

Best of luck to you..I'm sure you'll do well.

2/5,No Limit No Looky.blogspot.com ?

It's your blog (or it would be) so write what you want to.

If you want some topics of interest to me:

  • Las Vegas off-strip.  Where's good to eat, where's best to avoid, non-poker things to do.  I have rarely ventured out of tourist areas.
  • Poker rooms offering exceptional value.  Overlays, promos, fishiest players and why they are there.  Why you are choosing to play in a certain place at a certain time in preference to anywhere else.
  • Sick puppy action.
  • Any decent repartee at the table
  • Any observations about your own style of play in key hands.  It is always interesting for me to see how others arrive at a decision, particularly the same decision for a different reason,  and particularly those with differing styles from myself.

Best of luck out there.

Jim

Its your blog - write what you want.

Blogs make great reading - and by that I mean your own. I find it a good way to improve your own Game.

Whatever you write, I am sure many (including me) will read.

Best of Luck.

I would find it interesting to get more of a feel on the way the americans value their hands. I have always found that they are looser but I would love to really get into their minds a bit more - give us examples of their play etc.

I for one would love you to do it Jim and wish you every success in the desert.......Luton will not be the same after you go. Mind you it wasn't the same whilst you were here.........your insights into life in Vegas would be valued by all of us

I like reading blogs that are different, I certainly think you should start your blog early as you embark on the adventure.  Warts an the good, the bad and the ugly.
