Kill Poker Blind Doublers

I play a lot of poker, especially on Pokerstars. Typically I'll play on a micro Hold'em table that has a 2/4 cent blind. Often you'll find there is a player who will, as part of his tactic, double the blind before the flop.

Now this drives me NUTZ!!! Don't get me wrong, its not the money, I'm an all in sort of guy, but I've joined the table because I know what the blinds are. If I wanted 4/8 cent blinds I'd join a higher table. What I don't want is to wait to go round the table a second time to see who is going to match the blind. Most people don't like to bet blind on small tables anyway so all this tactic does is make them fold and keeps money off the table that may otherwise have reached it.

If you feel the same way, do what I do - move tables - there are plenty of them!

Happy Birthday to Me!!

Big 47 tomoz - expect it will rain - it always does!! Not had too much luck with birthday weather in the past. Last year was good. Went to a BBQ and sat out until the wee hours, but normally even here in Spain the summer ends and down comes the rain!!

I think inclement weather must be a problem for a lot of people whose birthday's fall on certain dates. There must be people out there who would love a birthday bash on the beach but it isn't going to happen in Blackpool if you were born in say, January - I shiver just to think about it!

Anyway, for this reason I think we should have two birthdays. An official one like Queen Elizabeth, god blesss her, and an unofficial, alternate birthday, for which we choose our own date each year. Hell I could swing it so it falls on my summer holiday - brilliant!
