Post Numero Uno

Welcome to my blog, The Poker Puffessor. I've been reading poker blogs since March 2004. I've decided to hop on the bandwagon and create a blog for myself after some encouragement from other bloggers (really, I just want to play in the PokerStars blogger tourney next year). A few things worth mentioning:

1) I will blog about poker and sports related subjects. That doesn't mean I won't blog about other things as well, but these two subjects are my primary focus.

2) I'm not a writer by any means. I can't even remember the last thing I've voluntarily written. It's going to be interesting to see how this turns out.

3) I've played poker seriously since March 2004. It's not a coincidence that that's when I started reading poker blogs as well. I've had moderate success lately, so I feel I'm consistently getting better at poker. Or, maybe I suck and get lucky once in a while.

4) I love to smoke herb. As if you couldn't tell by my name and the name of this blog. I smoke while playing almost always. There are benefits to smoking the sweet leaf while playing, will post about that later. There are some drawbacks as well. Needless to say, 7-card stud is not my strongest game.

5) I love to drink beer. Now, unlike herb, beer is pretty much baaaad while playing. For me anyways. I play better when not drinking. The simple solution to that problem is never drink and play cards. Do I listen? Hell no.

That's it for now. There will be poker content in my next post, thanks for stopping by.
