• Things Change

  Posted on Tuesday February 3rd, 2009 at 06:00 in Full Tilt, cash game players, $100 nlhe

  I have more to say on the "playing poker professionally" subject matter that I introduced in yesterday's post. But I'd like to discuss the poker that I played last night. A friend of mine recently signed up at Full Tilt via RakeTheRake. Though he'...

• Tough Spots?

  Posted on Tuesday September 16th, 2008 at 07:00 in hand review, $100 nlhe, re-raised pots

  I hate playing in re-raised pots when I'm out of position. This isn't a new concept. Anyone who's played poker for some time knows just how awful it is to be in a hand out of position against a solid or tricky player. And things only get worse whe...

• Tricky or Stupid River Play?

  Posted on Wednesday August 27th, 2008 at 07:00 in Full Tilt, tricky, bad play, hand review, $100 nlhe

  Even though I was tired, I ended up playing a little $100 NL at Full Tilt last night. After spending an hour fixing up my PT3 HUD, I had to give the new overlay a test run. The new HUD will take some getting used to but I think it'll do the trick. ...

• The Weekend Hammer

  Posted on Tuesday August 19th, 2008 at 07:00 in weekend, Pokerstars, hammer, hand review, $100 nlhe

  I ended up putting in a number of hands over the weekend. I'm aiming to play at least 5000 hands of poker a month for as many months as I can before I inevitably "give up poker" yet again. In any case, poker over the weekend was both good and bad. ...

• What's the Opposite of a Monster Session?

  Posted on Thursday July 31st, 2008 at 07:00 in quiz, Pokerstars, $100 nlhe, losing sessions

  What goes up must come down. A valuable lesson in life and at the poker tables. As hard as I hit the flops a couple nights ago, last night proved to play out in quite the opposite manner. I knew I was in trouble when I found myself playing over 30...

• Monster Sessions

  Posted on Wednesday July 30th, 2008 at 07:00 in Pokerstars, lucky, session review, $100 nlhe, great session

  I was speaking with MJ on a coffee break yesterday. As usual, our topic of conversion was poker. MJ commented that he was getting sick of starting each of his sessions by dropping anywhere from a half buy-in to a full buy-in before finally picking u...

• The Learning Process

  Posted on Tuesday July 29th, 2008 at 07:00 in Pokerstars, hand review, $100 nlhe, strange plays

  I wanted to post a couple hands today that display some of the weird plays that I've seen from some of my opponents over the past couple weeks. We've all heard that online poker games are getting harder but I think playing winning poker is just a ma...

• Another Leak

  Posted on Friday July 25th, 2008 at 12:30 in Pokerstars, bad play, hand review, $100 nlhe

  True to my word, I put in a session at PokerStars last night. I finished up on the night after putting in close to 400 hands. It wasn't my smoothest sessions. Over the past few days, I've noticed a disturbing trend in my game that's costing me mon...

• Plugging Away

  Posted on Thursday July 24th, 2008 at 07:00 in quiz, Full Tilt, poker stars, hand review, $100 nlhe

  I put in a short session of about 270 hands last night. I played one hand terribly - really, really terribly. I'm a little too ashamed to post it at the moment but I'll see how I feel in a few days. That terrible hand cost me 3/4 of my stack and a go...

• Presto, Gold, Reads, and Coolers

  Posted on Wednesday July 16th, 2008 at 07:00 in Full Tilt, presto, river bluff, hand review, $100 nlhe

  I ended up staying with Full Tilt for the second night in a row. The games have been pretty good and I like getting a little rakeback to help the cause. But good tables do not guarantee a winning night. I put up a good fight (as you'll see after t...

• Weekend Recap, Book Review, and Party Poker

  Posted on Monday July 14th, 2008 at 07:00 in book review, party poker, foucault, $100 nlhe

  I had a pretty good weekend at the tables. Judging from the amount of poker that I played versus the time I spent with my Xbox 360, I can say that poker is, once again, my hobby of choice. I don't have much time today so I'll just cover as much inf...

• Session Review #19: Piece O' Cake

  Posted on Thursday July 10th, 2008 at 07:00 in Pokerstars, lucky, session review, $100 nlhe

  I'm not going to say much today. I managed to find tables at Party and Stars last night. I was a little distracted while playing: I was watching TV with my wife during my session. I was also pretty tired after very little sleep the night before. ...

• What's Old is New Again

  Posted on Wednesday July 9th, 2008 at 07:00 in bonus, Pokerstars, party poker, $100 nlhe, william hill poker

  Even though I was a little tired last night, I played poker anyway. Rather than continue playing $50 NLHE, I made the jump back up to the $100 NLHE games. I managed to hold my own though I would have shown better results had I played certain situat...
