Female poker geek anonymous

Haven’t played this week. Not one hand. I’ve analyzed a few on the forums, but I probably wasn’t in the best of moods, because I became quite snarky on some responses. Except that haven’t even posted much on forums, and have even stopped reading the Small Stakes Shorthanded Forum on 2p2. I don’t know, perhaps going through my cynical phase where I think, I could answer, but that would take so much time. So I answer mentally somewhat and move on. I’ve also have had some disagreements over AIM on some hands and suddenly I’m too lazy to discuss the hand, I’ll just go: “whatever, you play it your way, I’ll play it mine!” Yeah, so perhaps I’m not in the greatest mood to play in. :/

I was very happy to hear Vanessa Selbst won the NAPT event over at Mohegan Sun and her interview on the podcast. I found it funny when she was saying that she tightened up, so that she doesn’t open 60% anymore, but she’s toned it down to 35% (in a FR NL game! :P). Really nice to hear about her legal passion on the issues of police officers, too. I guess here is where the typical female playing poker and winning post should come, but I’m really snarky at the moment on that subject, too. At work (mathematical, scientific field) we have these debates all the time, too and at a certain point, you just get tired. It’s as if quotas is the thing people are aspiring to rather than let people perform to their potential. Just too tired to debate it…

Doesn’t mean I won’t play in the Ladies’ Event at WSOP, though. ;-) Just generally, the low buy-in and the “fun” factor of it attracts so many bad players, that I would be dumb to play the 6max LHE tourney that is starting on the same day, even though 6max LHE is my bread and butter game.

Yeah, so I’ll be out in Vegas, at least for that weekend. Are you gonna be there? PM me if you wanna meet up, It’ll be on the weekend of June 11th-13th. No strip clubs, though. That was a huge fail last year, when the people I wanted to meet suddenly decided to go to the Rhino. Hrmmphf. :)

I think I’ll just get some wine and sleep today and play some this week. That way I don’t have to be snarky the next blog post and will actually have the patience on talking some strategy or newsworthy! Sorry…
