Welcome To Good Karma Kid!!!
I used to blog just about poker, but recently decided to write about everything of interest to me. I love to travel, enjoy good food & restaurants, drink some wine, and take pictures of my adventures. I got my nickname about 10 years ago when I used to play a lot of poker in Washington State, and guys used to tell me that “I was Lucky.” I always replied “I’m Not Lucky, I Have Good Karma” and a poker friend starting calling me “The Good Karma Kid”. Hope you enjoy the blog, if you like a particular article make sure to leave a comment

Good Karma Kid: A♠ J♠
Drunk Monkey 9♣ 7♣
Preflop, Drunk Monkey raises, I 3 bet from small blind, drunk monkey 4 bets, I call
Flop A♥ J♣ 8♣
Put 5 bets each in on the flop
Turn A♣, giving me the stone cold nuts, Aces full of jacks, giving drunk monkey the flush
We put 10 bets each in on the turn ($600), drunk monkey finally stops
River 10♣, I bet out drunk monkey calls, I expect to drag the huge pot my direction, drunk monkey turns over his hand to show me that he had a flush, and of course tables his hand so the dealer has no choice but to read it, Drunk Monkey makes gut shot straight flush on the river and doesn’t realize it :(
I went to the bathroom to puke, then decided to go home. Normally, I would continue to play, but this was just the climax of about 3 hours of similar types of plays and bad beats and I was mentally frustrated to say the least.
Todays Lesson: If you are frustrated, distracted, or shaken up mentally, consider going home or stop playing for the day. Poker requires 100% of your brainpower to process actions, reactions, and decisions. There is always another game tomorrow.

It seems I have forgotten about my Poker Blog again, I’ve posted about this before, I guess I’m a bit of a procrastinator. Today is January 1st, 2007 and one of my New Years Resolutions is to post to my poker blog at least once a week on either Monday or Tuesday. Posting once a week should be a realistic and achievable goal.
I will be posting about my life as a professional poker player and Poker Affiliate My poker blog will discuss different situations that come up while playing poker, funny observations I make about people while playing poker and the occasional off-topic post.
Check back every Monday or Tuesday and if you don’t see a new post from me, send me an email or enter a comment and tell me to get off my lazy ass and post an article to my poker blog.
The GoodKarmaKid
I normally post a daily lesson, but today I have decided a quote would be more applicable.
Today’s Quote: “Procrastination is the bad habit of putting of until the day after tomorrow what should have been done the day before yesterday.”
