It continually amazes me the longer I play poker, the more I realize how much I need to learn. Contrary to what most people think (and actually, I could care less what haters think), I don't "talk" poker to the majority of my friends. Yes, I am friends with quite a few high stakes players but rarely do I talk poker with them. I always think its hilarious when people just assume I have someone sweating me the whole time. Get a clue seriously, no one good is going to watch me play 50k hands every month. So now that I got that off my chest....

So March was a good month $$ wise, but I really felt I was lacking in poker knowledge. Ugh. (Oh and I don't post graphs because it always seems to insta doomswitch me!) I finally was able to ask my friend Nick (who has been sick for awhile with strep. Get better soon babe!! xoxo) about some 2/4 hands. I was so glad to be able to ask someone about those hands. I am totally grateful and really need to work on my leaks. 1) I hate folding. Anyone who has played with me can attest to this. 2) Overvaluing hands. I mean this is really enough said. Anyway, I don't really want to get into strategy in my blog.

I made a new poker friend tonight to hang out with on Skype while grinding. Hahah yay! It so helps with the monotony of playing a million hands to just crack up and have fun, listen to music, send funny links etc. Brs23 on FTP whose game I had always respected at 2/4 and I started chatting at the tables and he just seems like an awesome dude!

As a side note, I used to talk to Ward a ton, but he's disappeared lately. I know there's a 2p2 thread about him scamming people and if that's true that's really sad. He had given me the impression that it was his money not from staking.

Anyway, I don't want to end this blog on a negative note so I'll just leave you with this hand (biggest pot I've ever won at 1/2 but not biggest pot ever won). Guy was a total fish. What a gift :)
