Daniel Negreanu

I just finished and I mean just finished Daniel Negreanu's book, Hold 'Em Wisdom for All Players. It is his 50 best tips for any poker player. He talks a lot of bankroll management, certain cards to play and when to play them. He also dives into certain hands he has played, how to setup a home game and how the WSOP has grown.

One of the items he talked about was Poker on TV. As you know there is the WSOP on ESPN, the WPT on Travel Channel and GSN, and the High Stakes Poker on GSN. He states that High Stakes Poker is the best poker to watch on TV because they take 24 hours of footage and break it up into 13 weeks of shows. So do the math, you are seeing more hands played. The good thing there though is that you see the hands where the cut-off 3 bets and everyone folds around because they have crap or they fear the player. You don't just see the hands where you can deem them the "Degree All-In moment". I have learned a lot from watching High Stakes Poker, more than when I watch a WPT or WSOP event.

Anyways, the book has a lot of good information in it that I have begun using online and in some of my live cash games. Some of the information has helped, some I need to read again to get a better grasp of what he is really saying. The next book I have is Super System 2. I don't think it will take me a week to read this one, but I will start it tomorrow.

Tonight is the last game for Season 1 of the poker league. It doesn't have a name yet and I think it should have one. Mathematically, I can still finish in a tie for 2nd but I can't go any higher. Unfortunately, the top 4 get points and only players are playing. I have 3 people in front of me in the points so...you do the math there.

Anyhow, I will post who the winner is sometime this week. Then there will be a break in the action before Season 2 but hopefully there will still be some cash games and other SnG style games throughout the summer. I love playing poker so nothing is going to really get me to stop unless I lose all of my jobs and have no source of income.

That's all for now, see you at the tables.....
