      <description><![CDATA[I hope everyone had a great holiday! I would like to get some feedback from some of you guys on a particular hand I played over the weekend . It was a  $200 buy in NL Hold em event at a card club that I was not a member of, but was invited by a friend of mine.  It was a small field of 24 players ,, starting chips were 10,000 ,,  blind levels increasing every 25 minutes , no antes.. it was  a great structure , which I knew was going to take 5 or 6 hours to get to the final few players.. I kept telling myself to be patienct early on, as with blinds starting at $25/$50 I had plenty of time to play real poker , before it became a shove fest..

About an hour into the event with blinds at $100/$200 I was sitting on about $8800 in chips . I had been pretty card dead , tried to steal one pot and got snap called when my opponent hit two pair on the river.. Any way in ealy positon I am dealt  A K offsuit ..

      <description><![CDATA[I feel the need to write this blog for a few reasons... 1) I think the majority of players that write on this forum are young guys ranging from 21 to 35 .. Yes,, I am an old guy,,darn near 45 years old,, and most of  you guys cut your teeth online.. I ,on the other hand was a casino regular much before the on line explosion .. 

2) I think sometimes ( just my opinion ,,, some of you guys need to check your egos at the door,,when it comes to your poker wisdom..

As someone who has been through a few valleys to go with the peaks in my poker journey ,,,, I think it is real important to realize that a month ,, six months ,,or even sometimes  even a  year,, still may not be enough time to determine if you are truly a winning player.. Now of course I realize you young     guys are playing a gazillion more hands online than us live dinosaurs ,,but you get the point... All of a sudden a guy wins a big internet tourney and makes a big score,, and he self proclaims himself a poker pro.. [[ This is a content summary only.
