Back to the Library

So I still haven't played cards this month. But I've been hitting the books. First I broke out my copy of the Omaha book by T.J. and Tom McEvoy. It's interesting cause the book is written like a screenplay with dialogue between T.J. and Tom. But the advice they give just seems too tight.

I remember when I first got into poker and I read Doyle's no-limit chapter in Super/System, where he basically writes, like half a dozen times, "I put these weak motherfuckers all-in with any two cards at any time." It scared the shit out of me. Then I found T.J., another old Texan who wrote a NL holdem book, but describing a style easier to manage for a former economics major who started out in limit holdem.

I just became a member at cardrunners and I've been downloading and watching a lot of their cash game videos. I am glad I paid the membership fees. I wanted to go on to Intertops (Prima network site) and try out some new things at low limits, but I couldn't get funds into my account. I tried using a prepaid Visa card but no-go. Then I signed up for an InterPay account, a new Neteller-ish service, and I loaded funds onto the InterPay account. But to get funds from InterPay to Intertops they wanted the CVR from my InterPay card, so I'll have to wait until I get the physical card in the mail.
