THE MOST IMPORTANT REASON TO SAVE AND READ HAND HISTORIES
[Ironically, while writing this blog on Wednesday, February 11, at the end of a very long - more than 15 hours - and mostly frustrating day of poker on Full Tilt, I won the $100 + $9 NLHE 6-handed-max $30,000 Guarantee. Throughout day, in which I played 7 tournaments, and went deep in 5 of the first 6 with just one small cash to show for it, the lessons of patience and perspective that I was trying to teach helped me a great deal. In addition, watching Mike Matusow play an FTOPS event during part of that day reinforced those lessons, and I'll try to write a blog very soon about what I saw.]

Chau Giang hosted the Limit Hold ‘Em FTOPS event the other night and I would have used the occasion to write about him if I hadn’t left town with Jo Anne for Miraval the day before. But it turns out after a day of mindfulness and reflection and healthy eating and rope-walking … that there’s nothing to do at night. So I played the FTOPS event on Friday evening and found myself on Chau’s right.
What better reason is there to write about Chau Giang? That’s not even a rhetorical question. We played a hand together, and it reminded me of a great joke that Andy Beal and his poker-friend/colleague/employee/controller Craig Singer share.

We’re about 10 minutes before the first event of FTOPS XI as I write this.
It was a couple Wednesdays ago that I won the $69 + $6 NLHE $40,000 Guarantee. The field seemed especially large that day, about 800. Today, there were 866 in the field as online tournament players swelled in anticipation of the first FTOPS event.

When I play poker online, I usually listen to music. Although I have a series of different playlists I tend to stick with and change among, I have a special place in my heart (and on my iPod) for songs about poker, gambling, Las Vegas, or that spur a particular memory for me about those subjects. You can find this as an iMix on iTunes, but because several of the songs came from CDs I owned, rather than iTunes, they won’t show up on that list.
Please give me your ideas in the comments below. Am I missing some good songs?

In the midst of all my strange goings-on of the last week, I haven’t been able to fill you in on several personal pieces of news. Because I’m also struggling to complete 2-3 intructional blogs I think you’ll find interesting, let me just give you a summary:

Even with these events resolved, Jo Anne still had to pay penance in the form of traffic school and grovelling before the MVD to get her newly-recovered license unsuspended.

“Mrs. Craig,” the officer said, “I’ve got good news and bad news.”
“The bad news is that your purse has been stolen. The good news is that we have it. We have the ones who stole it in custody.”
