With the scope of what I'm thinking, I almost think I should get paid for these articles, rather than just put them on my blog for the world to see for free (except for re-posts here on BTP, of course). I know the guys who wrote the PokerTrackerGuide (not excession's outstanding free articles, the paid one), and was considering talking to them about it.
Would anyone be interested in reading articles (a series of articles, specifically) like these?

Lost another $109.50 yesterday playing LHE at Stars, but made up for it and THEN some at PokerRoom, where I'm playing $50NL and $50PLO8 to clear some VPP bonus and some other crap:
Exhibit 1: Gruesome luck here. BB was a textbook calling station (33/2/0.68), and thought it was good to call 2 cold pre-flop with KJ and 2 more cold on the flop with a gutshot. Then he had the balls to hit it.

Same monkey AGAIN. This is why I don't win at Party. I can't seem to lay off the accelerator because in MY MIND, a rational person doesn't call down with a pair of 3s in this situation.

So that ended up with me losing >$100 chasing these assinine milestone hands. Of course, the tables that are winning are the 0.05/0.10 LHE tables with 45 person waiting lists, or the 6-max tables that are paying blinds and just folding around. Maybe now that the jackasses are gone--far worse than the bonus whores, IMHO--the play will return to semi-normal.
As for PokerRoom? Heh. I deposited $300 to take advantage of a bonus and to work off the Vegas Poker Pro VPP points special, and I've doubled it up since Friday, withdrawn my original stake, and added $100 to it already:
Since I started keeping an NL Database at the $50s,

WinRate: 42.82 PTBB/100
Heh. Soothes the sting from losing at Stars, doesn't it.

Hopefully some of your "ungodly" win rate aura can swing over my way!
