My obsession with poker has returned. I had quit playing for about a year-and-a-half because I had gone on life tilt from the game. (If you don’t play poker, tilt is when something unbalances your game and makes you play poorly. Usually angrily.) I’m a smart guy and I thought I should be a winning player against the average small stakes player and I wasn’t. So I stopped.
Enough time passed that I had calmed down. Having a toddler will teach you a patience that playing a game never could. I was drawn back to the game. Initially playing only about an hour a week. Then two nights, then more. I was still a losing player but a trip to Vegas helped me sort that out (honest!).
But simply playing the game isn’t enough for me anymore. I’ve always wanted to combine my love of the game with my skills as a design technologist. As a result, I’ve begun to roll out my own poker news aggregator.
