Where have I been??
Hello fellow rounders, It is time once again for me to start posting my rants and raves about the world of poker and the Toledo Poker League. last night kicked off what feels like the 25th season of the TPL. It seems like years ago when we were meeting at BW3's to get things kicked off. The TPL has seen incredible growth and and the leadership of Commisioner Woody gets better and better every season. With the help of other knowledgeble players, this league can get huge. After the success of Steve Danneman (sorry for the misspelling), home leagues have began producing quality poker players. One only has to look at the "Crew" with the likes of Dutch Boyd and Fischman to see that home league poker can propel that next player to cash and stardom. When one looks at our league (with the help of a crystal ball..or 70's icon, the magic 8-ball) I will attempt to predict which of our players will move in to the realm of WSOP champ...This is all make believe so don't bet on anything. The most obvious choice is Woody. He has the patience to wait for quality hands and the right time to make the best moves. Once he has the chips, he can switch gears and play big stack poker. Then there is Gerald....Mr. ATC (Any Two Cards) can play as loose as any player I have seen. And when he does get that monster hand, he will get paid off huge by players thinking that he is playing anything. Like Doyle says "I'm suppose to hit my draws sometimes". And when Gerald does...look out. I'll end this entry here as it is getting too long. But check back in a couple days and I'll look in the crystal ball or shake the hell out of the magic 8-ball and take a look at a few other players and let you know when we will see them on High Stakes Poker.
