May 27, 2005 - Friday - Thoughts I would like to take a moment to address the poker gods. Dear Poker Gods, When I first started playing poker, you were ruthless with me. You didnt allow me to go on a rush while I didnt know what I was doing. On the contrary, you forced me to ...

May 26, 2005 - Thursday - Thoughts A central theme of your posts from the last few months is that you never reach your target number of hands. You just posted a new goal of 2000 but played 1000 and let it slide which you have done often in the past. When you get terribly unlucky a...

Time at the $2/$4 tables - One last post before I head out to the walk-a-thon. My last two sessions, in an effort to get myself back on the right track of playing limit poker, patiently, letting the bonuses pad the bankroll and hourly rate, I visited Absolute. I two tabled, one at...

May 11, 2005 - Wednesday - ThoughtsI'm very tired of this. Ever since I went pro, my luck has been pure shit. Before, when I had a bad session, it usually wouldn't be awful. Basically, I would get crappy cards and miss every flop. I'd get sucked out on a little more than usual,...

May 7, 2005 - Saturday - Thoughts"Are you already burned out on $3/$6 multitabling? I've been following your blog, and it seems like you're dying to play other games--SnGs, $5/$10, microlimit deals, etc.--anything but your original game of choice. Has it turned into more of a gri...

May 6, 2005 - Friday - Thoughts"If you're going to make a career out of being an online pro it's going to be from playing ring games. You need to spend some time every "work" day playing ring games. SNG should be reserved for the occasional break."There are players who play SnG...
