Grindapalooza

One of the big selling points of playing poker for a living is that you can pick your own hours. But sometimes the game is so good that you pretty much have to play. I haven't been around long enough to know, but they say New Year's Eve is the best day of the year to play poker.

A skeptical friend said, "I wouldn't think sitting in front of a computer would be so popular on New Year's Eve." But the question isn't, "Would I rather go out or sit in front of a computer?" It's, "If I were the sort of person to dump off a load of money playing online poker, would I be more likely to do that on New Year's Eve or a random day?" Apparently the answer is, on New Year's Eve.

With that in mind, I bring you New Year's Eve Grindapalooza 09-10. I'll be liveblogging as I grind it out all night New Year's Eve. I'm playing in an indoor ultimate tournament that day, so the plan is to do that, sleep for a few hours, then start playing around 10 p.m. and keep it going until about 6 a.m., or as long as the games are juicy. I'll keep you updated on all the hands, pots, bluffs, and bad beats, as well as my net for the night and my music mix. Turn on, tune in, suck out.
