The Latest
It is with a heavy heart that I removed the link to Amarillo Slim's book today. Someone on Party pointed out that he is a convicted child molester. This turns out to be technically untrue, since he pled down to something very close to child molestation but not quite a sex offence (some sort of assault) but it is enough for me to go ahead and pull his book. It was a great book and all, and the man did so much for poker that I have to be grateful for him but I imagine he is now ostracized from the poker community for fondling his granddaughter. I could have sworn I saw him at the WSOP this year, but there are so many 70 somethings in cowboy hats running around Binion's that I could easily have been mistaken.
Also the $5/$10 experiment is going well. I have won just over $7,000 now in the last 68 hours of play, making my hourly rate just above $103. I feel that it actually would have been significantly higher if not for the growing pains during the first few dozen hours when I was still getting used to playing two tables. I am actually becoming more optimistic about moving to playing 2 $10/$20 tables at a time. I still feel as if I miss a bet or two every now and then as a result of playing 2 tables, but not enough to make it unprofitable to add the second.
I’ll leave tonight with a quote from someone named Chuck Humphrey, which I stole from PokerPages.
Before you criticize someone walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you will be a mile away, and you will have his shoes.
