Been reading wintermute's old blog this evening. Fun stuff. I wonder whatever happened to this guy.
Funny, the link only shows his last ten posts. I guess you'll have to google his ass in order to land on a middle-order post so that you can navigate his insanity.
As far as I can tell, he stopped posting in 2007 or so. But he was predicting the internet ban as early as 2006--which is basically what happened to Party Poker, as I recall.
His funniest post involved him and a friend sitting at a $50 max buyin NL table. By the way, do these waste-of-space tables exist? You can play, but only if you shortstack? All decisions made on the flop? What's the point?
Anyhoo, he and his friend had an agreement: If either was dealt a four, he had to turn it face up and go all in. So they did that for a while until the shift change brought a new dealer to the table, who promptly told them that they couldn't expose any of their cards in a multi-way pot.
Their solution? To announce, "Kaaaaahh!" when they had a four. And then to go all in.
The rest of the table seemed to be full of oldsters nursing $50 stacks, who reacted in utter confusion and fear to wintermute's and his friend's antics.
In the last hand, wintermute is either in late position or in the blinds. His friend is in early position. Both have $300-plus.
His friend looks at his cards, announces "Kaaaahhhh!" and goes all in.
Everyone instafolds, until it gets to wintermute.
He looks at his hand, says "Kaaaahhhh!" and goes all in.
Friend turns over 4-2. Wintermute turns over 4-7.
The flop comes A 3 5, giving the friend a flopped wheel. And he starts going bonkers and talking shit to wintermute about how he owns his soul.
Turn is a blank. River is a six. Giving wintermute the higher straight.
The best part is that his friend doesn't even seem to notice that he just lost. Fucktard is too busy celebrating.
Posts like that make me sorry that I deleted Government Cheese, my first poker blog. I want to go back and see how warped I was. Poker blogging used to be so fun. Hard to continue with that when I can't play poker.
