Any personal hand history article sounds like an ego trip.

It's unfair to say or suggest the article was written as an ego trip. I recruited posters to write this specific type of article for the Magazine.

Everyone is trying to reinvent the wheel. Bridge publications
have been providing recaps of tournaments for decades.
No one is interested in seeing every single hand. In
poker most hands have no educational value. This section:

Blinds are 100/200

Hand 36: Open folded 73o from the Button.

Hand 37: This hand I was dealt Ad Js (3,030) in MP.
Supadphat (2,225) raised UTG to 600 (3x big blind)
and I folded.

Commentary: Easy fold. AJo is behind his opening
range here. If he limped I would probably shove,
but shoving over an UTG 3x raise with AJo is pretty
bad without a really solid read.

Hand 38: Open folded 65o from the HJ/MP1.

Hand 39: Open folded 92o from UTG+1

Hand 40: Folded 73o UTG.

Hand 41: Got a walk in the BB with J5s.

Blinds are 120/240

Could have been shortened to this.

The obvious folds are just filters. Drop them from the
recap.

Of course the hand histories don't always show the hole
cards of other players. Still the recap could also
include some interesting hands played by others at the
table. The lesson hands.
