Sell, Sell, Sell

Over the last week or so I have made numerous postings on the '88% Concentration' blog of Ed Hollis or 'bluescouse' This poker blog is undoubtably one of the most read and entertaining poker blogs on the face of the poker planet. However of late Ed seems to have lost his way, losing his roll, borrowing money, taking it to the big tables and losing that. Its a horrible situation he finds himself in.

So Ed has been posting his plight on his blog and as expected he has been inundated with people making comments on where he should go from here. I am no exception. I genuinely feel sorry for this young lad. He has major issues which centre around the basic fact that he has an addiction to gambling. So what sort of advice do you think alot of his friends are giving him? Quit, seek help for you addiction and financial problems........thats what most rationally minded people would advise, but NO, Ed's so called mates urge him on to get back into the game and take it to the pro's. As I have said in one of my replies 'with friends like that who needs enemies'

I have offered my advice to Ed, and its there for him or anyone else to read. I believe its sound advice and we must all wait with baited breath to see just where Ed turns next. In ending my replies to his post I always finish with 'Sell, Sell, Sell'..............As I have said I feel selling is the wrong thing to do, but for any regular readers of his blog then you will know that Ed seems to be his own man and rarely listens to advice. In the past he has been give advice on br management, gameplay, table selection, and chosing the correct limit to play, all sound poker advice and basic rules that any person making a living from poker treats as 'the commandments' Yet Ed choses to carry on blindly.

Sell, Sell, Sell..............its not urging Ed to sell, its just that no matter what sound advice Ed gets he will usually do the opposite !
