The Rut

I still haven't logged on to Full Tilt, but that doesn't mean I haven't been thinking about poker.  Mainly, I have been thinking about what I can do at home that will be the best use of my "education time".  Since play-money action is a bit in my doghouse, I have decided I need to do more along the lines of reading and watching training videos.

Yesterday I stumbled across a good article, a lengthy interview with the recently-passed Bobby "The Wizard" Hoff, one of the Texas Road Gamblers in the same vein as Brunson, Moss, Roberts, et al.  While I orignally started reading for the entertainment value and history lesson, I found that the interview delved pretty deep into strategy as well.  After reading, I bookmarked the page, because I think a re-read focusing on those strategy pieces will be beneficial down the road.

There was also a live tournament going on yesterday, the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open main event.  There was a live stream so I tuned in, but didn't last long.  In summary, it was a snore fest (no commentary) and I didn't feel as though I was gaining anything by watching.

Up next - SFPT August Part 2 (make up tournament from February) is coming up this Friday.  In the meantime, I hope to at least do a little bit of reading, and maybe play a little on Friday afternoon just to get back into the swing.
