But I'm glad you're enjoying the trip down my memory lane!

...You have no idea how relevant your comment is. <br /><br />A week or two back, I found myself confined to bed due to a recurring of my chronic weak back issues. I got bored with the book I was reading and then I remembered you making a similar comment before. <br /><br />So I decided that going through your archives would not only be fun, but it would probably be more +EV than reading any random poker strategy book.<br /><br />So, with my trusty Android tablet, I started going thru the Grump archives. I insisted on starting at the very beginning and reading them in order.<br /><br />I have found it fascinating in so many ways, highly entertaining and educational. Sadly, reading a Blogger blog in order from the beginning on a tablet is not that user-friendly, but I am working my way thru it.<br /><br />But you know, some of your posts were long. Have you ever heard that complaint? I think I found some that make my average post look like tweets. Anyway, I am having fun working my way thru it, and in fact, I am seriously considering doing a post about this journey thru your blog I am taking.<br /><br />Since I started at the beginning, I hadn't gotten to the post you linked (or the earlier one you linked in that post), but of course they were great. Thanks for the link.<br /><br />Now, if I have given you an idea for a Poker News article, I of course expect my share of the royalties.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-21837682990489123812014-10-25T09:44:17.861-07:002014-10-25T09:44:17.861-07:00I really thought you had my entire blog archives m...I really thought you had my entire blog archives memorized by now. I am so disappointed to learn that you don't. If you did, you would know of the post in which I described shifting from a habitual $100 buy-in to a usual $300 buy-in, and how and why that change was happening: http://pokergrump.blogspot.com/2009/07/buying-in-big.html<br /><br />Now that I'm rereading that, I think it might make a good subject for my next PokerNews strategy article--buying in big versus small.

And very rare to have two opponents drawing dead on the flop with you having just an overpair. Can you teach me how to do that?<br /><br />I do have a question for you....in that post, and in others, you indicate that you buy in to a 1/2 game for $100 usually. I'm curious as to why. Most good players would buy into a 1/2 game for $200 minimum (100 big blinds). Why do you prefer only 50 big blinds?

One of my favorite hands EVAR was this one at South Point, in which I had just my unimproved overpair to the flop, yet had two opponents drawing completely dead, with all three of us all in. <br /><br />http://pokergrump.blogspot.com/2007/12/once-in-while-game-just-plays-itself.html<br /><br />(The second story in that post.) <br />Rakewellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15873391354585352712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-11010737344203984272014-10-24T11:58:50.448-07:002014-10-24T11:58:50.448-07:00i wouldnt leave just busy with fantasy,weed,FWB,fr...i wouldnt leave just busy with fantasy,weed,FWB,freerolls,and taco bell. u know important sheeeeeeeeitangerisagifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01945967112589502437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-80299490381259636392014-10-24T10:36:08.811-07:002014-10-24T10:36:08.811-07:00Thanks, anger, glad to hear from you again, since ...Thanks, anger, glad to hear from you again, since you hadn't commented on the last few recent posts, I was afraid you were abandoning me for some site that mad MORE gratuitous pics of cleavage.<br /><br />But sir.....remember the words of a famous blogger, I'm actually dumb as fornication!Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-71171803363947017492014-10-24T10:25:26.830-07:002014-10-24T10:25:26.830-07:00greatest blog post EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! u r smar...greatest blog post EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! u r smart as fornicationangerisagifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01945967112589502437noreply@blogger.com
