Naked Paul Toast’s Insights

It was a beautiful day, I didn’t do anything productive. I should have mowed the lawn, but I didn’t. It was too nice a day, to mow the lawn.

I sat in the shade of my Gazebo, with my laptop. Browsing the Internet, procrastinating work and watching a Praying Mantis. Yesterday, on the roof of the Gazebo, I noticed a him. He hung out there, all day. I took some pics of him with my iPhone. Mantids are probably my favorite bug, they’re absolutely fascinating.

Today, he was still in the gazebo. Standing perfectly still, he would then crawl to a new spot, and return to his statue pose. I assume this is how they hunt, but I didn’t see him catch anything. They are absolutely mesmerizing to watch.

I’ve been playing poker for more years than I care to remember, casino poker for about 10 years, and online poker for about 5 years. I’ve had some success.

My specialty has been Limit Hold’em ring games, and Limit Hold’em Sit’n Go tournaments. With the huge explosion of No Limit poker, and the American unfriendly UIGEA bill. Limit Poker is drying up.

I’ve created a video of a recent low limit No Limit Hold’em session, where I narrate my play and thought process.
