June 28, 2005 - Tuesday - Lots of things going on around here. Ive released the new version of my PlayerView/GameTime+ alternative. I changed the name from PlayerStats to PokerAce Heads Up Display (or PA Hud for short). The initial responses have all been positive, so thats goo...

June 26, 2005 - Sunday - Im trying hard not to get discouraged, I really am, but its difficult. It honestly seems like I never get a break. I get great cards preflop, but the community cards always hate me. Rarely, and I do mean rarely, do I ever hit the flop, and when I do? W...

June 24, 2005 - Friday - Just a warning, Im in a very foul mood this afternoon. For the past couple of days, Ive been taking some time out of my poker play to work on my PlayerView/GameTime+ alternative. I decided today that I needed to get back on the tables. I wish I hadnt. ...

June 19, 2005 - Sunday - More frustration. Thats basically been the order of the day for me the past two days. I lost again yesterday. Another $200 or so. I took last night off to go see Batman Begins. So yesterday was a 1,000 hand day. I was pretty frustrated after the afterno...

June 17, 2005 - Friday - Holy shit was today ever frustrating. I had to quit short of my hand goal today. I only got in 1,971 hands. I was getting to the point where I was screaming obscenities at my computer. I had to stop or risk going on tilt. It was insane. Id guess that no ...

June 16, 2005 - Thursday - Ive had an interesting couple of days. The entire time I was playing yesterday, it felt like I was losing big time. I figured it was variance giving some of my huge win back. However, at the end of the day, I ended up only being down $10. Looking at P...

June 14, 2005 - Tuesday - I wasnt sure what kind of day today would be. I signed on to play this afternoon around 2:30 or so. I dont think I had even played for an hour before I started having connection problems. At first, I thought it was my internet connection messing up, bu...

6/12/05 - So Ive found a new method that seems to be working pretty well so far, and thats playing 6 person cash games rather than the usual 10 person. Ive never really tried it before, but this way seems to be working a lot better. It allows me to loosen up from...

Final Round: APL King of the Hill Tourney - There were 88 players that made the final cut for this tourney. My 1st table was a lot of fun, esp the way the flops kept coming up 2s and Qs... So many low cards came out, I started betting if I had 23, or 2Q... 3 and a half hours into what turned out to...

6/9/05 - Hey, so I totally forgot to update after the Turning Stone trip so Ill do that now. It was a learning experience, Ill leave it at that. The lesson learned was that going up a limit doesnt necessarily mean that there will be tighter play. In fact, the o...

June 6, 2005 - Monday - Thoughts Its been a while since I last updated. Things non-poker related in my life have been occupying a lot of my time this past week. Unfortunately, that means I got in about half the number of hands I wouldve liked to have played. Dont worry, I plan o...
Hallelujah, finished off my April Interpoker Bonus - Its taken forever, but I do admit to being much more picky when choosing tables at Interpoker than ever before. Its just that I know when I choose the right table, it can be a really rewarding experience. So a bit of patience is in oder I suppose. Final...
Some good advice - Ive been playing recently, but before I get too far into that, I want to share some worthwhile advice I received courtesy of Lou Kreiger and Online Poker Rules. Lou wrote an article on Betting Patterns. The money line is, under certain circumstances : C...

APL Update... King of The Hill Tourney! - Well, I have been skipping out on going to the feeder events for this one, as I already have a seat at the final table for next week, but my wife is zeroing in on her first win. She has steadily been increasing the level of her play, and steadily finishin...

June 1, 2005 - Wednesday - Thoughts Today is one of those days when I just didnt want to get out of bed. No, this has nothing to do with poker, as I havent played yet today. Yesterday and today, my back has been killing me. I was on my feet all day Sunday, so that probably has some...

5/31/05 - Had an alright day today- played 1/2 for two hours this afternoon, and then for two hours tonight on two tables, and won about $100. I was playing way too many hands, limping in with shit like Q4s and T5s when I shouldnt be. I tightened up a lot and pla...
May 31, 2005 - Tuesday - Thoughts Its been a couple days since my last post. Nothing new really. Still having crappy luck nearly every time I sit at the tables. I was going to post a list of all the crap I was given in this afternoons session, but considering the backlash I recei...
