Red Sox!!

So i'm a huge Red Sox fan and it is absolutely amazing that I'm watching them in the World Series right now. And of course they're winning. :) It's so great to watch a team troughout the entire season and go to the games and cheer them on and then see them doing well in the biggest games in baseball. It's especially sweet for us Red Sox fans who have had to wait for so long, but we're definitely making up for lost time now. I'm now gonna go back and watch the greatest team in Baseball.

Poker

One of my favorite things to do is play poker. Online, at a friend's house, at a poker room, basically anywhere i can play. I play online as much as i can, which usually turns out to be every day and mostly several hours of that day. I just love the game and getting to know absolutely everything there is to know about it. I feel i'm becoming a very knowledgeable player, although i'm still young and have a lot more learning to do. I mostly play no limit Texas Holdem, which is the big craze that everyone is getting into. I got into it when I was about 16, right before it started hitting really big. I was absolutely awful, and one of my friends in particular got really mad at me most of the time. Then I started playing more and more and I'd invite some other friends to play, and suddenly I was the best player there because they were all new. I think this helped me a lot because I immediately started winning a good amount of money, which of course fed my craving to continue. As I learned more about the game each time I played, I started realizing more and more exactly the skill that goes into playing it. Skills like knowing which starting hands to play, being able to read people correctly, having the patience and the knowledge of the other players at the table to get the most out of every pot. Every situation is different in poker, which is why I am so attracted to it. I have never gotten bored at a game, because there's just so much to take in even if you're not in the hand. I think I'm gonna stop here cause i'm getting crazy, but I will most likely be posting more about poker in the future.
