Sometimes I read a poker blog and I feel myself going on tilt. I won’t name names, but I encourage you to let loose and blog about the poker blogger who most puts you on tilt. Because I need something to chuckle about.

Okay, fine, I’ll name names. The blogger who most puts me on tilt is SirFWALGMan! Deep down inside I think his online mania isn’t a wholly accurate reflection of the man, but damn, sometimes I feel like pissing away half my bankroll just for having read one of his posts. Don’t worry, man, we still love you.

From his MySpace blog:

This sounds like something that BG, JoeSpeaker, or many others could knock out of the park.

Another night of bad results at Commerce Casino. I dropped 15.5BB at 9/18 for an hourly of -4.4BB/hr. My play was good, the players were bad, and my cards were worse.

“Yeah, yeah,” you’re thinking, “Bloggers always blame the cards.” But honestly I think it was a good table.

F-Train sat in the 5 seat and suffered a few moderate beats and still came out ahead. Two of those losses were to the same guy–the first time the enemy jammed on the flop with no pair and the third nut flush draw, the second time he led on the flop with bottom pair and backdoor flush draw. There was also a guy at our table that liked to limp re-raise pre-flop and another guy who liked to raise on the flop with any piece of it.

I did make a couple mistakes, though. I missed out on at least 1-2BB when I flopped trip aces. Somewhere in my mind I knew we were going to hit the jackpot and I didn’t want to miss out on that. As it turns out, I should have check-raised them on the turn. They’d stay in for the jackpot, right?
