THE OFFICIAL BLOG OF THE TRIANGLE POKER JOURNAL
Yes indeed, the ink isn't dry yet, but effective immediately Bad Beats & Great Hands is now officially partnered with the premier information site in NC for all things poker.... The Triangle Poker Journal!
We Want YOU to Blog!
We have a core group of repeat bloggers, but we want YOU to blog.... Why should you blog? There's a lot of great reasons.... entertainment, bragging rights, ridiculing your own play and those.... I-can't-believe-you-called-me-with-that-donkey-plays that not only hit, but when they hit, they raise you..... whoever heard of such a thing! Probably the best reason is that when you listen to the winners of bracelets and major tournaments, most of them speak of being a part of a "think-tank" ... a place or a group of like-minded friends who play poker together and then dissect and analyze the hands. Of course, you would never do this at the poker table.... that would be poor etiquette! But to dissect and analyze for learning purposes is exactly what we are striving to create with this blog. Of course, you will be able to ridicule each other for the obvious "TILT" plays that we all make from time to time. And.... HORNS BLARING.... it's all FREE!
Blogging on this site is by invitation only and you are cordially invited to join, blog, poke-fun, ridicule and learn with the group! Some of the best players in the area frequent our site and we want you to be part of it! Just email me at ncpokerblog@gmail.com and I'll forward you the invitation to join us.

God bless Doyle and all, since he's forgotten more about poker than I'll ever know, but this has to be the stupidest statement ever made (well, next to "Will you marry me?" of course...). He's saying you should never limp in with suited connectors or call a small raise with a little pocket pair, hoping to spike a flop and snap off a player's entire stack. I think either the old guy was misquoted, or the staff at the home forgot to give him his ginkgo biloba that day...
ahhh yes, but couldn't you also think that Doyle would think his 55 was a good hand preflop against a maniac who has been raising every pot? Just because your hand isn't the nuts preflop doesn't mean its not an awesome hand given the context of who you're with and what they're doing with their chips :-)
