Not to put anyone down or anything, but it seems like there’s an excess of melodrama out there. Which isn’t to say that content theft, art vs. commerce, idiot strippers, huge suckouts, quitting poker, poor table manners, etc. aren’t worth talking about, but when something seems to crop up every two months to get this or that blogger riled up, it starts to look like a familiar formula with new dressing. Y’know, like a Goobernator movie. And that’s enough to put anyone on tilt.<\/p>\n
Ultimately, none of this shit really matters all that much (and I say this even if some of this stuff pissed me off at the time). So take a step back, clear your head, and hit the tables. The come back and share your thought processes and experiences. Help me become a better player by writing about your own games.<\/p>\n
One more thing to think about: It might be a sign that poker blogging’s jumped the shark when you get post after self-referential post about the “community.” Not that it doesn’t exist, or that it’s a good or bad thing, but sometimes it’s just a little over the top.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
