I know I don't post to his blog but about twice a month, but I'm starting a new one. In contrast to this blog's randomness, my new blog focuses on poker and only poker.
Hell's Cold Day is for the common card playing audience, meaning it will not talk about the games with huge buy-ins and the strategy that accompanies them. The play can be quite different. What it takes to win a $10 tournament or .10/.20 cent blind games is different than what it takes to win $100 minimum buy-ins.
I will share my experience and observations of others based on both on-line and real world play. I'm no pro, but you need not worry I know how to improve your game. For a reference on my skill in low-limit games, long-term records show I make about $10/hr.
If that sounds like you cup of tea, check out Hell's Cold Day. If not, I'm still here.

The Death of Superman made me love comics
DC Comics recently released an animated remake of their classic comic book series detailing the death and return of Superman. The animated feature, Superman/Doomsday, is a different take on the original and I recommend you watch it. As far as action goes, it is far better than the recent live action film, Superman Returns. If you have watched it, I recommend you read the original story.
The first comic book I ever read featured Superman's beaten corpse laid out on the streets of Metropolis on the cover. It was the first issue of A Funeral for a Friend, a story addressing the aftermath of Superman's fight with Doomsday. The battle ended in mutual death. Funny enough, I didn't read the actual fight until more than a year later. I also didn't stay with the funeral books for the whole storyline.
The story that really ignited my interest was the following Reign of the Supermen story arc. It was a very long epic told over four Superman titles detailing the four different Supermen who appeared after Superman's death. They were the "Cyborg Superman," the "Man of Steel," "Superboy," and "Superman, the Last Son of Krypton." I am not going to spoil it, because if you ever have thought yourself a fan of Superman, you need to read it. Looking back I now am amazed that the first 50 or more issues of Superman books that made me love the character, didn't even include the real Superman.
