Blog Name Change

"Just an Average Joe's Poker Blog" was a horribly... average and uninteresting name. "Deception through Honesty" is a much better name which also reflects my preferred style of play.

In my opinion, in a game where lying, posturing and trickery is expected, the biggest trick you can play is to play by the book. "Raise the best, call to invest, fold the rest" is a phrase used often in Tom McEvoy's book "Beat Texas Hold'em", and when going up against players who love their fancy plays (calling raises with low suited connectors, raising their draws, etc) the best strategy is the most basic one.
