Third Party Confirmation Again
Poker
In order to keep my Professional Poker Player (TM) status, I have actually been playing a bit lately. To that end, poker has been upgraded from “teh suck” to “mediocre” as of late. I have proceeded to win back about 60% of my losses so far this month, mostly on a string of 3rd place finishes in SNGs (meh). A couple cash game hits have helped a bit too.
I’ve made some mistakes in the a few of these SNGs, but have started to make some strong bubble plays when people are holding on to make the money. Nothing too wreckless, but a bit more aggressive than normal. I’d love to finish the month in the black, but my wireless is acting up the last couple of days which has caused me to not even try.
Affirmation
Just to reinforce to you all that I’m a Professional Poker Player (TM), it was recently pointed out by the recently engaged Poker Geek that another RSS thief is at it. In this case he splits up poker blogs into “Amateur” and “Professional”. There’s over 100 listed in the amateur listing and 8 in the Professional category.
Guess who’s one of them?

Chopped off the illicit Feedburner feed he setup of my, and other’s, sites, as well as the actual site and such, no need to help him out.
Anyway, that’s just for all of you naysayers out there
Congrats
I’m late to the party but congrats to Absinthe on winning the LAPC Event #1 for a cool $113K. Nice job.
Also congrats go to Chris Fargis on winning triple draw tourney in Tunica.

I too have recently started making some strong moves on the bubble. I have always found that the people holding to get into the money wont risk their chips unless they have a premium hand. So when your on the bubble its certainly a good time to put a move in if your blinds are on short stack waiting to place. However, if one of them short stackers throws a raise back at you, you might want to repsect it. You either got a strong hand your up against or a strong player that reconized your trying to bully him.
