Blocking U.S. Customers

Well, found out today that Doyle's Room is blocking U.S. based poker players. They know your from the U.S. based on your ip address........unless you change it. Download free proxy tools and you are on your way to being from any country you want in about 15 minutes.

Pulled my head out of my ass for an hour or two today and made a couple hundred back.

I went to Barnes and Nobles and bought Phil Gordon's Little Blue Book. I figured the green book is so good, why not? It does not disappoint. Phil goes through TONS of actual hands he has played and his thought process during each. Helps me out big time. While playing I easily get distracted or worse yet bored. Phil's book gave me a healthly kick in the ass by reminding what the hell I should be thinking about while playing/watching.

I also downloaded Phil Helmuth's Play Poker Like the Pros. Sifting through that as well.
