Quck Update/Message from a Friend

Hey guys,
I've been pretty busy with schoolwork lately (which I'm pleased to report is going quite well) but I just wanted to give a quick update.  I haven't been playing all that much poker but had a few crazy sessions this past week.  I won a bunch then lost a bunch and for the week ended up about even.  I hate blogging numbers because my parents read my blog and it's awkward but for more documentation check out highstakes DB or some of the Count the Zeros videos (which I highly recommend btw for entertainment value, those monks are hilarious).  I had one big hand against Gus Hansen at RailHeaven where I called a 3bet in position with 97ss over 200bb deep, called a bet on a 964r flop, and then the turn came the 5s putting 2 spades out.  Gus made a huge allin overbet and I called with not much thought and his overpair held.  Afterwards I had some thought as to whether I could fold, as I think he has an overpair a ton and I'm not getting proper odds against it, but I might just be results oriented.  The nosebleed games have been pretty dead and I've been busy.  I'd like to play more poker but it just doesn't seem worthwhile to me at the moment.  Maybe I'll start grinding the $160 super turbo SNGs on FTP, they're fun, relaxing, and super profitable with 100% rakeback.

I have to go to a review session but I also wanted to forward this message from a friend.  Eric is a friend of mine, Taylor's, David B's, and one of Ezra's best friends.  He's a great guy and very smart and I'd recommend anyone into board games taking a look into this.
 

Dear Poker Blog Reading Community:

 

I'm a professional poker player, and I need your help. Recently, my wife and I started a game company called Agman Games. We published our first game called Reels & Deals: The Movie-Making Card Game. Players take the role of movie studios searching for scripts and casting various actors, actresses, and directors. We spent about $35,000 and almost two years to make it. It came out really well.  We've won a bunch of awards and generally received great reviews. However, our sales have been super slow. We're a new company and have little connection to the gaming world, and its just been real hard to make inroads in the industry.

 

While we made this venture mostly as a hobby, and we were well aware this scenario was possible, I figured like any good American in trying times there was only one thing to do: call for a bail out! So I'm asking my fellow poker players to help me out and buy a copy (or ten) of our game. I assure you the game is quite good, has great art, and is very entertaining. You can check it out at our website www.agmangames.com , which also lists all the reviews and awards we've received. The August 10th review by the Toymanonline is probably the best for giving an idea of what the game is like. The game is family appropriate and a makes great holiday present!

 

You can buy the game via the website off the purchase link, or another ($5 cheaper) option is to transfer me poker funds. Transfer $13 (within usa) or $18 (non-USA) to either 'jdredd' on stars, or 'pokerface mcgee' on ftp. Then send an email to eric@agmangames.com telling me where the transfer came from, and what address to mail the game.

 

Thanks,
