For those that don't know, Potomophobia is an intense fear of rivers. You guessed it, I'm a poker player. It's not my job, but I still take it pretty seriously. I've read a ton of books on the subject and I'm always trying to improve. It's been four solid years since I started playing. I usually find that I do better when I've set a goal for myself. Otherwise I tend to just blow my money in stupid, stupid ways.
Right now, my only goal is to beat one of my online buddies in a prop bet that we set up. I have to place higher than him in the $30k Guaranteed $10+1 multi-table tournaments that Pokerstars runs twice a day. Since the bet started last week (bet runs for a year) my best finish is a staggering 390th of 3438. I'm still in the lead with those abysmal numbers because Gene hasn't started playing yet. I'm at a slight disadvantage if history has anything to do with it. He's finished as high as 15th (but it was before we started this bet) and I think he could easily do that well again.
I've been reading a lot of other people's blogs to get the courage to start writing my own. I hope that I can keep this up. I'm already finding it to be quite therapeutic.
I should mention that this WILL NOT be just a poker blog. There's plenty of those out there, that will be much more interesting than this one.
