• Poker Results Summary

  Posted on Wednesday December 9th, 2009 at 06:01 in list, Poker, results, plan

  I took a look at all of my Poker Tracker results last night. I recorded the numbers for every single game that I played and record in either Poker Tracker and Poker Tracker Omaha. I'm happy to say that, overall, I'm still well ahead of the game. M...

• Balancing the Books

  A week has passed since my last post and for that I apologize. I was hoping to hit the elusive "1,000 posts" this year but it's not going to happen. Tilt, video games, and a busy life prevent me from keeping all of my readers up-to-date on my gambl...

  I didn't play much poker over the weekend. I actually get less time for poker on Saturdays and Sundays than I do on weekdays. Well, to be fair, I could play more on Sundays but that's my day to get up with the kids. And playing with kids - especia...

• A Few Knights Off

  Posted on Thursday August 27th, 2009 at 12:30 in video games, plan, the greedy gamer

  I didn't play any poker last night. In fact, I'm only planning on playing one more session this month. I think I'll concentrate my efforts on stringing together 300-500 well-played hands tomorrow night. Friday nights at Full Tilt seem to be one ...

• Two Words: Omaha Eight

  Posted on Wednesday June 10th, 2009 at 18:00 in plan, omaha hi-lo, omaha 8, flo8

  I'm going to jump into some Omaha 8 games tonight. I've watched some videos and read a couple chapters in a book so I'm all set! But seriously, I'm going to sit at the $1/$2 full-ring tables and see if I can grind out a few bucks. I hear that limi...

• Poker, Psychology, and My Shattered Ego

  Posted on Friday June 5th, 2009 at 12:30 in books, Poker, Psychology, goals, plan

  After a rather typical heads-up session last Friday, I found myself on uber-tilt and stayed away from poker for a good five days. The one thing that I've learned from poker over the past four years is that I don't handle losing very well. I'm extrem...

• Options For Improving My Heads-Up Game

  Posted on Tuesday May 26th, 2009 at 11:53 in shopping, goals, laptop, study, microsoft zune, plan, poker training videos

  One of the major problems I see myself having with heads-up poker is the lack of proper feedback concerning my play. Heads-up poker is so read and feel dependent at times that it can be hard to analyze hands in a vacuum. It's very difficult to dis...

  Every New Year, I tend to fall back on my poker hobby as my primary source of compulsive, addictive fun. It's not that I like neglecting video games: poker just offers other perks and benefits (i.e. money). That being said, I'm going to try to find...

• Know when to fold 'em?

  Posted on Thursday January 15th, 2009 at 06:00 in funny, video, plan, plo, bad play, hand review

  Poker players are always complaining about getting unlucky. Though I've done my fair share of grumbling, the fact is that I run quite well at the cash game tables. If all the money goes in on the flop or turn and I'm well ahead of my opponent (say ...

  It's Friday and the weekend's almost here! It's been a pretty short work week for me due to my bout of stomach flu. I'm still happy that I'll have two days off. When I woke up this morning, I was overjoyed to discover that my cramps, dizziness, an...

  Posted on Friday September 26th, 2008 at 07:00 in goals, weekend, plan

  For the past couple years, I've used the same avatar (i.e. Will Ferrell at the wheel of a ship smoking a corn cob pipe) for both my site and my avatar on various poker sites. In recent times, I haven't felt like that care-free sailor floating from o...

  I opted to continue working off my bonus at PokerStars last night. I'm getting pretty close but it will likely take me another full month before I'll have my reload bonus worked off. I'm really not in a rush to get this bonus cleared though it does...

  Another night, another session at Full Tilt. I played fairly well though there are still a number of spots where I find myself a little lost. For example, I'm still not sure how to handle min-raises on dry boards when I c-bet out of position in a 3...

  After looking over the terms of the 2X WCOOP bonus at PokerStars, I decided to make my $600 deposit and start working off the bonus. At 20 base FPPs per $1 of bonus, the bonus clearance rate works out to $6 - $7 an hour given my volume and stakes....

  I played poker this past weekend. I actually put in all 1000 hands that I was looking to play at $50 NLHE. I reviewed my recent sessions which got me looking back at March's train wreck with a more objective eye. I'm happy to say that I'm "feeling...

  My plans for this weekend are simple: time with the family, time with Lost Odyssey (my newest Xbox 360 RPG), and some poker. That's right! It's time to start re-introducing poker back into my life. I'm going to take it slowly. I need to view poker...
