SwDP and some headsup
Poker-Tastic | 10 hours ago
Played a little four-card bingo aka the Saturdays with Dr. Pauly tourney. The usual madness ensues early. I catch some good hands (preflop) and sometimes even connect lightly to the flop…still no dice (e.g. AsAcJc5s…flop with two spades&# read more

Another Leak
Klopzi's Mediocre Poker | July 25th 2008
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 read more
Down a little, but still smiling
Poker-Tastic | July 24th 2008
I finally got my new external hard-drive delivered today, so I could get things going with the reinstall. It actually took longer than expected to get everything up and running again, so no extended poker playing today. Still managed to get a small s read more
PokerStars 10+1 SNGs are very beatable
Chipper's Poker World | July 24th 2008 by Chipper Dave
Fact: The $10+1 9-person NL Holdem Sit-n-Gos on PokerStars are highly beatable. Since the 1st of the year, I've played sparingly in just over 70 Sit-n-Go matches at that level and have been cleaning up. I play each match slowly but deliberately. T read more
A little headsup action
Poker-Tastic | July 23rd 2008
Played some more headsup today. I guess I will take a break from it again once the Pokerstars 2x promotion runs out on headsup matches (sunday) as I’ve had enough of headsup for a while. It’s not the results or the “pressure” read more

Whatever...
Klopzi's Mediocre Poker | July 23rd 2008
Have you ever had one of those sessions where nothing went your way? Pocket pairs fail to hit sets? Your pre-flop raises get shoved back in your face with large and frequent 3-bets? Continuation bets get called, raised, or check-raised? And above read more
Second session good
Poker-Tastic | July 22nd 2008
Not as good as I wanted it to be, but very good in contrast to yesterday’s and this morning’s session. In the end I went 9 for 15. Not all that bad, although I still feel like I could have done better. In the end it was a matter of me pus read more
PokerStars, Plans, and Presto
Klopzi's Mediocre Poker | July 22nd 2008
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. read more
Brutal
Poker-Tastic | July 22nd 2008
That about sums up what’s been going on yesterday and today so far. Played headsup non-stop and got kicked in the junk non-stop. Everything started yesterday evening when I won my first match easily. Then things started to fall apart, fast. I l read more
PokerStars '2X' Reload Bonus: 40% up to $240 (July 2008)
Klopzi's Mediocre Poker | July 21st 2008
It's PokerStars reload bonus time! Just when things had become crystal clear and I was enjoying my time at Full Tilt too! But the games are so fishy at Stars. Table selection is not quite as important when every table is chock-full of awful player read more
So and so…
Poker-Tastic | July 18th 2008
Today I tried to get in touch with Microsoft again…ended up in a russian call center…all they were able to do is to tell me that I needed to get in touch with the retailer that sold me my copy of windows vista…errrm yeah…that read more
The grind…
Poker-Tastic | July 16th 2008
…is sometimes grueling, sometimes boring, sometimes fun…and sometimes all of it combined. I don’t know if it has got something to do with the Pokerstars 2x-promotion or if it’s the norm these days, but most people suck at head read more
Pot committed or full of crap?
Chipper's Poker World | July 15th 2008 by Chipper Dave
Over the course of any Sit-n-Go you may be tempted to make a move. It may be either for the right reason or on a full bluff. You make those moves based on the situation and from what you've observed. During my nightly Sit-n-Go on PokerStars I came read more

Chipper's Poker World | July 11th 2008 by Chipper Dave
There are days when you think you've seen it all on the poker table and then stuff like this happens. During one of my usual $10+1 Sit-n-Gos on PokerStars the other night I was show the perfect flop. It should be absolutely rare to to flop quads in read more
Headsup galore
Poker-Tastic | July 11th 2008
I don’t know what it is, but I had to very different experiences in headsup play tonight and I’m not talking about matches here, I’m talking about levels. What’s working on one level (11$) isn’t worth a dime in the other read more
Switching gears
Poker-Tastic | July 10th 2008
If my poker play had an actual gearbox, it would be smoking right now. I’ve never switch gears that fast and often in my life. Why did I do it? Because I played strictly headsup tonight and what throws the donks off more than switching gears, e read more
Session Review #19: Piece O' Cake
Klopzi's Mediocre Poker | July 10th 2008
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. read more
It’s rainin…DS final tables
Poker-Tastic | July 9th 2008
Played another DS to the sunday million tonight…patience at the first table is key, the donks are more than willing to hand you their chips, just gotta have the patience to wait for the right spot and you’ve got a good shot. I took out 4 read more
What's Old is New Again
Klopzi's Mediocre Poker | July 9th 2008
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 read more
New Software and Some Slowplays
Klopzi's Mediocre Poker | July 8th 2008
After eating dinner and getting the kids to bed, I purchased and downloaded my copy of Poker Tracker 3. Although I'd heard many bad things about the newest incarnation of the world's most popular piece of poker software, Matt Maroon said that he lik read more

Poker-Tastic | July 7th 2008
I really do like the double-shootouts these days. Played one tonight and what can I say….I win…another T$215 on a 8,8$ investment. I like! That’s 2 wins and 1 ITM out of the last 5 tries…heater? Could be…playing goodR read more
Enjoy the Ride
Klopzi's Mediocre Poker | July 7th 2008
I played poker this past weekend. I actually put in all 1000 hands that I was looking to play at $50 NLHE. I reviewed my recent sessions which got me looking back at March's train wreck with a more objective eye. I'm happy to say that I'm "feeling read more
So and so…
Poker-Tastic | July 6th 2008
Put my tourney dollar to use today, tried to satellite into the Sunday Million again…had nothing going the first two tries (DS), almost lost it in the third one two. We’re down to three and I’m coolered, JJ vs 99 all-in preflop. I g read more
Finally some good news…
Poker-Tastic | July 5th 2008
It’s been a while since I’ve been happy with the results of a poker-session. Tonight the long wait is finally over, finally won something again. Played a double-shootout to the Sunday Million (8,8$, 6max, 36 players; 1st = ticket). I thin read more
Royal junk kick
Poker-Tastic | July 2nd 2008
What else can I say, two things happened tonight…. 1. I got kicked in the junk so hard, my sack is going to hurt for another week I guess. It was pretty unreal, I made good call/bet/raise and read after another and got fucked on all of them. Su read more

First session: this morning, some NL cash and 8 NL HE SnGs…mostly good…3×1st 2×2nd in the SnGs….slightly up in the cash game. Second session: this evening, 8 NL HE SnGs…1x 2nd…that’s it…the other ti read more
