The new year brought insurance bills, unexpected car expenses, and other costs. I won't be able to play a few days later in the month cause I'm going skiing in Vail. So I'm trying to get a good start to the month now.
Aladdin $1-2 NL
4 hours
+ $400
So it's going okay except that I'm now eight down in the sidebet race to NC John. I'll probably write more about NC John and anaylze his playing style after he leaves, but for now I just want to say a couple things. NC is for North Carolina; he's a consultant for a business out in Greensboro. He's an Asian guy, 31 years old, and is looking to buy a house out here on this trip. He's the most consistent and biggest winner I've played with in $1-2 NL cash games, with the probable exception of Angel, but I never played much with Angel. John has never read a poker book. His style is very unorthodox for a winning player. We had a talk a couple days ago about how he developed his style by mimicking certain players, and also about his "minimize-maximize" concept through which he filters his decisions at the table.
Probably not as effective as the "Boss Hogg" filter written about previously in this blog, but to each his own.
