In my last blog, I decided to play 100k hands of 400NL 6max before I do anything else this year. Kind of like a reaffirment that I win somewhere over 5BB/100....

And.

It's been a slow start.



The EV thing should sort itself over 100k hands... I mean, if it didn't, then that would mean that the whole theory of continuous probability has just been a brutal myth all along. Could you actually imagine if those guys who play roulette and write down each number as it comes so they can decipher patterns had just been wasting their time?

My friend Hirsty actually believes in the above, or has done at some point. On various visits to the casino he's either ferverently believed that 7 reds = next is black, and then 7 reds = next one MUST be red again. At first I laughed along... but no, he believes it.

Oh and I know I said I was going to talk about poker more in this blog, but.... I suddenly realised why people don't. Basically, I think all the regs know my SN now, and rather than say 'Im abusing my image by nitting it up', or 'I decided to fuck nitting it up, and let them worry about me' (it's probably one of the two) it's probably best I say nothing. At least until my 100k hands are over and I disappear to Party or somewhere.

I guess you can see some random spew for your entertainment, villain is Leggo member Bazclef. Nice hand....
