“Just in Time” June
Alright, some of you are gonna be like “WTF ringer, you are blogging during the USA world cup game”. Yeah, Everytime I get pumped about the world cup and anticipate the games. I get 5 minutes in and i’m like “wow, this is boring”. Not to mention there is a very reasonable chance that as I blog this, nothing of interest will happen in the game. We are down 0-1 atm and looking like we are getting outplayed. So there you have it, my views on soccer. I want to get into it, but quite frankly nothing but passing ever seems to happen. If soccer scores were like 10-8 and people could overcome big deficits, it’d be a much more exciting game. But i suppose that would make it lacrosse and that’s kinda boring too. Don’t get my wrong tho, I love the USA winning I just wish it could happen in a more exciting manner.
I have started cross-posting my blogs into my “featured” cardrunners blog. It seems to be getting more traffic than my website, so I might have to just move there. I cross-posted my “note taking” post and boom like 150 views. We’ll keep this blog here and i’ll just copy everything over for now. Having alot of viewers should motivate me to post more. Those of you reading this blog on CR and like the posts, please feel free to check out 2 years worth of blogs at www.damnringer.com.
I am going to submit a video at 100nl very similar to my one at 50nl in the next week to CR and hopefully they post it up. I am looking at doing some rather innovative videos as well, working with a math guy being one thing. I’m not sure I really want to make those videos my normal though. I think there’s just such a search for practical, useful answers in videos as opposed to drawn out math problems. That said, the best players in the world get there doing alot of those math problems so studying that stuff certainly can’t make me worse.
As predicted in my “Miserable May” post, I was going to have a “Just in time” June. My god, did that happen. I am running the hottest I’ve ever run in poker over a month period. I don’t put alot of stock into Allin-EV just cause its really worth less in the long term and doesn’t actually affect anything as it breaks even in the long term. I know alot of you guys that are running bad right now will disagree, but I’ve been in that spot before way more than this current spot and know how it works. I am running 15 bi’s above EV @ 1/2 this month. Its not that i’m getting it in bad and sucking out, its more I’m getting it in good in 60/40 situations and its holding and I’m winning all the flips. Its a pretty great feeling to run so hot.
We’ll see if I can close out the month strong, and hopefully put in at least another 10k hands. I would like to play 60k hands/mo for the rest of the year and stop being so lazy when it comes to working. Oh well.
That said, its the end of the blog and nothing has happened in this game.
