why doesn’t anyone play cash games anymore…
that was the hardest fought $50 i’ve ever seen…i’m just glad that i’m the one who won it…
so you want a blog post…
really…well…this is where things get interesting…how do i slip one in…in the slim amount of time i have before the poker game tonight…i know…let’s review my elementary poker principles…

1…book i’ve already started…and hope to finish…maybe…
2…books people have recommended/given to me that i (still) might not get to this year…
3…books i have no business reading…but i probably will…even though they’ll feel like homework…
4…books i somehow stumbled on and would really like to read…someday…
5…books i snatched off my father’s bookshelf…that i guarantee i will at least open this year…
and the only book i know i will finish…at least once…this year…
this is why being good is more important than being first…
