Poker Nut
Yesterday I must have seemed like a poker nut. I ran into
Angus & Robertson, 15 minutes before it closed, asking them
whether they had any poker books? Guy must have thought I was
playing poker that night, and needed somethign desperately.
They had one book called 'playing winning holdem', looked pretty
comprehensive. Then hopped next door into dymocks, i already know
where the gambling books there are, coz ive bought blackjack
books there before. Looked through their books, nothing good.
Ran to Borders, they closed at 7, but i wanted to check out their
books before angus and robertson closed at 6. Whilst standing
scanning books left and right, thinking they must have something
good, i notice two people's feet standing behind me who were obviously
looking at the same books, Didnt turn around tho, kept scanning
for books, then 30seconds later they were still there. Turned
around and it was paul and jon, apart from humming the song they
were playing on the loud speaker, im pretty sure they thought
it was pretty funny. Said hello, ran back to angus and robertson
bought the holdem book, went back to borders to have another look,
jon i think bought a doyle brunson book, but considering it wasn't
super system, i guess ill wait.
Later carolyne came to pick up some shirts, I was eating dinner
in front of my computer, pokerroom loaded up in one window,
world series of poker day 3 on the other window, and i was reading
the newly acquired book.
The great thing about poker is even the 6month amateur player can
take on the worlds best and win, which other sport can that happen,
anyway its good to be knowledgeable.
Tips for matchroom, play the freeplay tournament on pokerroom,
register by 9.30pm , game starts at 10.30pm.
