After my regular review of my report card at MypokerLab, I am pleased to see that I am scoring fairly well

I have to admit that the “D” score is spoton, I have been known to play slightly more hands than some people would consider optimal.

Here we can see that MPL is telling me that I really need to relinquish my BB a lot more to potential steals as playing out of position is never a good thing, even for me.

Don’t let me see a flop or so MPL is warning, nice competent stats regarding my postflop play although it suggest my turn play is on the over aggressive side, something to work on.

The only think MPL cannot show you is how lucky you are, I for one am not that lucky at the moment as even though I am playing proficiently I am still a small loser as others seem to be hitting rivers and low outers to win.

Carrying on with our blogging theme of private poker parties being robbed, it happened again on Thursday. One poker game ended with no winners when Five hooded suspects with bandannas covering their face robbed a high-stakes poker game early Thursday morning leaving with $15,000 in proceeds, jewellery and electronics.

Police went out to 11 Avalon Gardens Drive after receiving a 911 hangup call at 12:30 a.m., Clarkstown police Sgt. James Fay said.

The homeowner and eight other men who were playing poker told police they were ambushed by five Hispanic males wearing hooded sweatshirts and bandanas, Fay said.

They had surrounded one of the poker players, Fay said, after he had stepped outside for cigarette and forced him at gunpoint to let them into the home.

The robbers stole $15,000 in cash, a large amount of jewelry and some electronic items, Fay said.

This never happens on PokerTime.

The world has had its spectacle. South Africa hosted a fantastic world cup, bar the vuvuzela’s but now it’s over. Journalists are writing their last words about the beautiful game and everything is about to round down. This seems to happen after almost every single multi-million dollar sporting event... but does it happen to the WSOP?

But on the other side of the spectrum are the fans. Are you feeling something is missing from your life? Is there a void that that needs to be filled? Actually doing work at work? This might be the start of World Cup withdrawal for some..

As many as 40 percent of British soccer fans, their days no longer filled with World Cup matches, are at risk of Post Tournament Depression (PTD), according to a survey done a couple of days ago by a British website.

The reality of having to wait more than a month for the new soccer season and until 2014 for the next World Cup has left many fans feeling flat, bored, and unsure what to do with their days.

Now the question is, does this happen to the poker players? Do we as well suffer from of Post Tournament Depression? To a degree I’m sure; but we are not as showy truth be told. There are no posters of Helmuth adorning buildings in downtown Vegas. No Phil Ivey themed poker shoes and no stadiums built for us (though this is not necessarily true)

But it comes down to this, we have to have 1 year to be get our WSOP fix. But we’ve also got a WSOPE, the EPT, the APPT and event the Aussie Millions. We’ve got our fix, and even if we did get PTD, we’d put on a poker face.
