For those of you who don't know, I'm pretty intolerable at the tables, if I played me I would hate me. I'm too competitive and I have a really big mouth. In college intramural soccer I've had one of my friends threaten to break my nose and another try to leave at halftime, and thats just off the top of my head. I wish I was better at it, and I've gotten slightly better but if we are picking sides you want to be on the other team or more likely a different game most of the time. I think that quality helps with hu for a couple of reasons. I'm pretty introspective and really hard on myself so while playing I'm always thinking of what I can do better. Also, I hate that someone else would have the satisfaction of beating me out of money so that drives me to improve.
A couple of weeks ago, I played a guy "tcfromub" on stars. He won a couple of buyins, I was talking shit the whole time and letting him know when I thought he played a hand terribly. He's my biggest fan so he kept trying to justify his plays, and after I repeatedly told him I didn't wanna discuss hands he pm'ed me with a couple of paragraphs further explaining his thought process. After further shit talking we agreed to play 10k hands, its nice to be able to interact with people who care about me as much as he does. We start on thursday so I'm excited to destroy him, because dealing with him wont be worth it unless I win about 100 buyins.
On another note of doing something good for the community other than playing my biggest fan, I want to do charity coaching. I'm not going to get all emo but I'd feel better if I did more and just giving an hour a week in coaching and donating that money is a start and I've thought about it so at this point I'd feel like a piece of shit not being able to at least do that little. I will figure out someone reputable to escrow the money to, but I want to post it so that I do actually get around to doing it. For the first week, I will do it auction style. If no one reads this blog and I'm screaming into the abyss then from now on I will set a fixed price but I think it might be cool to do it auction style for a good cause. Either post in the comments, or private message me if you are interested.
