What I Learned from Iggy Today
I was fortunate enough to get to know fellow blogger Iggy from Party Poker blogs today. What a terrific guy; if you've read his blog, you have a pretty good idea of what this guy is like for real. Which I suppose is one of the goals of blogging. Anyway, the "blogfather" had a lot to teach me today. Here are some nuggets, and they're paraphrased, but generally only slightly:
- Talk about how you suck as a poker player. Talk about the mistakes you make in your blog. People love to read that stuff. It's okay to talk about what mistakes you make and why you keep making them.
- Poker blogging helps you think critically about your poker game, because you have to think critically in order to write about it.
- NEVER, EVER, ever slow-play aces before the flop, even if you're first to act at a loose aggressive table and you're almost sure someone is going to raise you before the flop.
Thanks for the coaching and the nuggets of wisdom today, Blogfather. You are definitely THE man in my book.
