TEBOSOPK - A Poker Blog

TEBOSOPK - The Endless Betterment Of Shawn Osbornes Poker Knowledge
This will be my blog as I progress through CORE, the 1/2 Crash Course, and the MTT Crash Course.
I will be mainly playing SSMTT online, some live 1/2 cash and random live tourneys. I'm lucky enough to live 20 mins from a casino and only a couple hours drive from the Playground Poker Club in Montreal where they regularly hold WSOP and PartyPoker tournament events.
Also, since I can't stick to only one form of poker thanks to my ADHD, I will also be posting some hands of any of the 8 game variants of poker. I will do my best to relate what I've learned in CORE and the two crash courses to my mixed game play. Outs are still outs in all forms of poker, and so is hard reading, some variants just read a bit differently than other.
That's about it for now. I'll post some interesting hands that I've played from the PS MicroMillions tourneys going on right now.
Happy grinding!

CHAT
them: ******* u
Showed him the Q
them: fu
me: thanks
them: trudeau *****
me: you lose a poker hand, so you decide to bring in politics into
it? you must have nothing to do.
Turn-chat-off.
Replying in French might've blown his nostrils completely open.
Anyway, it turns out I'm studying exactly the same material as you and playing similar stakes (although cash more than mtts). I even have a similar thing about not being able to 100% stick to one format, although in my case I restrict my distractions to only PLO, PLO8, Razz, 2-7 single draw and maybe badugi.
Do you fancy some kind of friendly forum based poker study blog-off?
Thanks Kat! It feels good to be back.
