I normally don’t do this stuff, but I want to make everyone aware of my friend Eric Strauss’s blog, http://www.eestrauss.com. It’s a solid blog and it’s a nice break from the poker blogs that I’m usually reading.
I grew up next door to Eric and we went to the same schools from around age 2 until 18, at which point we parted ways to go to college. At some point in college, we both started learning about poker. The funny thing is, Eric jumped into it much faster than I did. I insisted on actually learning the game before really putting money on the line. Eric was making $50 deposit after $50 deposit onto Party Poker and goofing around in various low limit cash games and SNGs. I got made fun of a few times for not being willing to put money on until I learned the game (we couldn’t tell you what a value bet was … I didn’t know about the value of position at all — this was a very early stage). It’s kind of funny to look back on that. At this point, Eric is trying to get back into poker after a few years off. I was helping him with some low limit SNGs on FTP when I was back in Philadelphia for the holidays. I’m not sure how it’s going to go, but I hope he gets into it and does well.
