While I don't usually want to admit defeat on anything before even starting to take it seriously, I have to give mad props to Tony Dunst and hereby concede that he's always going to be a better blogger than I am. It's not because he's chronicling his freaky sex adventures on the Internet or anything, but the guy puts in decent volume poker-wise, then has freaky sex, *then* takes what has to be at least two and probably three hours a day to chronicle it on the Internet. Not that the Internet is short on people documenting their sex lives, even in a poker context - it's hard to imagine Jennicide being able to appear in a live tournament for over six hours without someone making an all in joke - but Tony Dunst makes it entertaining. Also, this entry is my tiny contribution to Tony Dunst never being able to get a respectable job outside of poker again/filling up the front page of Googling Tony Dunst's name with Tony Dunst having freaky sex. 'Sup Tony?

So, yeah, I'm pretty much a 1000% less entertaining blogger than he is. At the same time, I do occasionally want to, like, *write things*, and the last time I posted a huge blog entry, I alluded to writing an ebook on razz. Several weeks of partly half-assed, but occasionally serious effort later, I have about 50-60% of it done...that is, I've written 13 pages/7300 words of very dense 100% poker theory material in 11 point font. Because it's going to be continually revised with more equity sims and examples, the finished product is going to be something like 30-35 pages, more if I make it 12 point TNR like everybody else. And I'm not even sure I'll ever let a single other person read the damn thing.

Let this be a lesson: writing is hard. Winning poker tournaments is easy. Conclusion: win more tournaments.
