Preflop

Hi guys, welcome to the very first post, of this, the official source of all the information on our various home games and the degenerates that lose money in them.

My main intention for making a blog for each game was to provide some important insight into people’s style and perhaps help them and others improve. Oh yeah, its also nice to call them a donk when they obviously made the wrong play. That’s right, im talking to you deadaxiom, what the hell are you thinking folding queens preflop? Donkey!

Another cool thing I plan to post is some detailed interviews on all our players. We may never be interviewed by CardPlayer or Bluff magazine so this could be the closest thing we get to defamation and misfortune.

If you guys have any suggestions on any other cool thing to write about, please let me know. Also, if you guys feel like posting your own little articles, send them to me. Ill be sure to post them and take the credit.

First game to be blogged will be tonight and I expect it the chips to be flying. There’s gonna be blood. There’s gonna be some kind words exchanged. There’s gonna me a million dollar pot. Ok, there wont be a million dollar pot, but there will be various bodily fluids spilled.

Maybe a little introduction is in order. Im sure I covered this in my other blog, but what the hell, I like typing and you're bored. Why else would you be reading this garbage? I came to Singapore more than a year ago and had a massive case of a poker itch. Thank God that Betfair was in town and I was saved. Watching big named pros John Phan, Tony G and Gus Hansen really made my week. During that event, I met SillyCow, who invited me to a 2/5 $500 game and promptly lost several times over. I focused on improving my game and played a lot online. Joined PokerXFactor and it helped my tournament play tremendously. Cashed in some ok tournaments and built a nice bankroll for myself. Then I chanced upon a link to a Singaporean poker site headed by DM101. I could see how desperate he was for someone to talk poker with because he were talking on Yahoo Messenger just an hour after we chatted on the forum. Then the site grew and we were invited to several games. Finally, a game at Simei would spark be the beginning of a group of players whose lives would suddenly turn upside down when they meet a strange visitor from outer space that gave them the supernatural power to turn spoons into forks. Ok, the last part didn’t happen, but you got to admit, I must be smoking something gooood to be coming up with shit like this.
And this is where we stand at the moment. At a time where we struggled to get 6 people to come and play, we now have a waiting list. At a time when the biggest profit of the night was 30 bucks, now this is just a preflop re-raise. At a time when tight were right, now loose aggressive players run over the table. And where there was a once group of poker players, now stands a group of friends who have the supernatural power to turn ball pens into pencils which turn into forks whenever they are hit by sunlight. Wow, this shit is good!

Check back tomorrow for our first official game recaps!

Thanks for reading and good luck at the tables!
