I'm no Phil Gordon

Damn...I watch Celebrity Poker Showdown religiously, have seen Chris Moneymaker win the 2003 WSOP several times on ESPN, and have even read Positively Fifth Street by James McManus. So shouldn't I be better at poker by now?

Answer with a question: how do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice.

Actually sat down and played for the first time this weekend, and was the first one out. Had a blast doing it, was basically losing my wife's money since I'm still unemployed, and picked up a few things about my own game and the playing habits of the others at the table.

I'll do better next time. But for now, off to practice. Wish me luck.
