Reputation

So this is what having my reputation precede me is like....

"If Hoyazo raises preflop, he may have two cards."

I'm assuming this was supposed to say "any two cards", although I kinda like the humor in the above statement at least as much. The above is quoted directly from SoxLover's blog, and was posted by SoxLover after this week's awesome WSOP satellite tournament hosted by The Benefactor, my name for Iggy today after he donated his own hard earned cashish to add a second blogger to the list of WSOP entrants from his tournament this past week. SoxLover has expressed a similar feeling about my play to me in the past, during other blogger tournament events.

See, this is what's SO great about the weekly WWdN, DADI and other blogger games that go on, and I think, taking a step back, is what's so great about the poker blogging community in general. It is just that -- a community. We aren't just all individuals who happen to be interested in the same thing. We get together reguarly and play. We practice together, learn from each other, share game strategies, etc. We read and comment on each other's blogs regularly. We IM and play together in the evenings. That's what makes poker blogging so special to me. When I play the WWdN every week, I'm at the point now where I have notes on the other people at my table at least as often as I don't. And that is when regular weekly games start to get fun -- when people really begin to know each other and each other's games enough that you can really start putting moves on each other.

And that's just what I plan to do (and have been doing) with SoxLover, and anyone else who thinks they've got me pegged. "Raises with any two cards"... Heh heh.
Your asses are SO mine!
