So I may or may not start posting again.  I'm assuming I've lost the ridiculously limited amount of readers that I once had, but I'll see if  I can present myself as an interesting enough soul to lure people back into my mindless babble.  If anyone's still reading this I figure it'd be an interesting idea for me to analyze other peoples individual hands and see if I can be of any help.  So if anyone has anything...I mean if anyone's even reading, lay em on me.  For now I'll just analyze one of my own hands.

This was a pretty interesting hand.  This guy was crazy so I wasn't doing anything aggressive to force the issue.  I just checked through my A10s because of this very reasoning and again checked the flop.  I know, kind of a pansy move...but it didn't take much to unleash serious action out of this guy.  So I turn the flush and throw out a small bet to see if he had the top or bottom end of the straight, I think irregardless I could check the river and he'd throw out a big bet.  It was a risk, but this was the monster situation that I was hoping for.  So it was worth risking the $150 or so value I would get on the river to go for the 970 that I ended up getting.  Directly after this I got all in on a simple flip KQ vs A9 for his last 400 and won.  

So I'll post some of the crap I've been up to, I'll let you know how the WSOP went (I played in the main event, I won a satellite on stars).  I probably won't go into my personal life, as that usually gets me in trouble haha.  But anyways, that's all for now.  

Oh, here's some of the work I've done
