Operation Just Cause

Ok so what is Operation Just Cause?..........

Well apart from my poker game I have decided to address other bloggers in an attempt to pull themselves together and get their lives and poker game sorted out.

So any poker blogger will instantly know one prime candidate for my attention. That is of course Ed Hollis, aka 'bluescouse' Perhaps one of the most prolific bloggers on the face of the planet, his poker journey is one true rollercoaster ride. However it now seems that it may be drawing to its obvious conclusion.

My replies on his site to his postings are designed to berate and in some way try to get Ed to sit up and take note of what exactly is going on in his life. He is a degenerate gambler who is rapidly approaching self destruction and that is sad.

There are too many so called 'friends' giving him stupid advice whilst most people just want him to stand back, reccess and take control of his life. Seek professional advice for his addiction and financial advice. Learn the game if he must continue, exercise bank roll management and good table selection and avoid the big levels and the pro sharks that swim around those waters.

The guy is capable of making a living at the lower levels, despite some of my comments.

So 'Operation Just Cause' is up and running, if anyone has any comments then feel free to post. I am thick skinned and can take any criticism and will address any such comments as and when they come !

Onwards and upwards

I genuinely feel sorry for the bloke but he has been told again and again it makes no difference.

Thanks for the comment poolcue. I think most people probably feel a little sorry for Ed, but he has only himself to blame for the situation he finds himself in. He has been given so much advice, bith position and negative yet he chooses to chase that big poker dream. I do feel he could easily make enough money each month to pay his mortgage, cover his living expenses and have some left over for a health lifestyle, yet he preferes to gamble on the big tarbs against the sharks. Listen go for the fish, thats what Ram and Erik are doing with Ed !

Will he listen.......NO WAY, so we can really only expect him to fall deeper and deeper.........its sad, but thats the way most compulsive gamblers end up.
