Have you been following the WSOP?
I have. it's always interesting to see how everyone is doing and what big name pros are going to make deep runs in minefields of amateurs.
I don't follow a lot of specific players, but one that I've followed for a while now is Shannon Shorr. His blog is really interesting and is one of the donkament players that I really take interest in.
Other than that, I just like to see winners and final tablists, which is pretty easy info to come by.
Its hard for me being a HULHE player primarily, since most of the discussion is on the no limit tournaments, which i don't play very well and don't really understand some of the theory behind different plays.
I followed the 10k o8 tournament a little bit more closely because its a game that I have put my time in with and feel like i'm reasonably competent at. I would like to play more o8, but im currlently restricted to FTP, and the games don't really run at my limits. I just havent gotten around to putting a bankroll on Stars, which i will, but probably not for a bit. Once I do, I can take some time and put in some o8 hands. It's a pretty solid game and you can play very tight and make money at it. (I'm talking specifically about full ring). I took up 6-9 tabling when I was playing the game last.
I'm going to have to make some choices about my poker game soon, since I am now basically rolled for 5/10. Now that I'm into this realm of poker, the time between getting action gets larger and larger. I'm still happy to play 3/6. But 2/4 isn't a game that I want to be playing anymore.
One option is to expand my site selection and get money on Stars or some other site that offers HU tables. I'm not comfortable playing on UB or AP because of the scandals, so i will stay away from them.
Another option is to start putting in some hands of 6max or expanding into no limit holdem.
I'm not sure i'm super comfortable with either option at this point. The 6max is a good idea, but the games are not as easy as they used to be, so the edge is probably smaller, especially since its not my primary game and i will almost certainly be making some mistakes.
I don't know, haha, something for me to think about.

Did you hear about Brock Parker? Beat negreanu heads up for a bracelet in #14, then woke up the next day and signed up for #19. Took that down as well. Pretty sick consistency.
