Wild stats.... - 19BB/100...even in my wildest dreams I cant hope to sustain that; going to enjoy them while they last :) Whats weird is my aggression (1.83), its dipped, which is not a good thing. Surprised Im still doing so well! Although, I did have one session with a ...
Maybe I should play more on Saturday nights! - I started off playing $1/$2 full ring at Party on Thursday but found they have many more 6-max tables than full ring at this level, same as Stars. Its also hard to find seats at the full rings in the morning and I do like 6-max so Friday I figured what th...

1st day at $1/$2 - Played my first real session of $1/$2 today (Id played some hands a month or so back on Absolute but that was just to try to push my cash up to $50 so I could withdraw). I had been playing alot of 6 max on Stars at .50/$1 but thought it would be wiser t...

Beans dont fry on the grill - Im movin on up. After a few weeks of the variance of bonus chasing and trying to play just to get numbers of hands, Ive decided to ditch that experiment with the following observations: 1. Bonus chasing can be profitable.2. Bonus chasing requires ABC p...
Bad Beats and what you can do about them - Absolutely nothing! This month has produced a flurry of bad beat blues postings from the full spectrum of players who frequent ITH. It got me thinking about bad beats in general and why they cause good players so much frustration. I think it comes...

Overly Optimistic - Looks like I was overly optimistic about being able to win 300BB by the end of this week and move to the $1/$2 Limit. Should know better by now. After a week of play Im up a whole 2BB instead of the 43BB I envisioned. Ah well, thats poker.On the bright ...

Betting ... and Aggression - I would like to share an interesting hand from the other day. Rather than ramble on about, it, I will break down the hand by betting round, anaylzing the action. I welcome comments on this, as my purpose is to learn as much as it to teach. Game #81719...
Check up time - Decided to see how I was doing in terms of the ITH article Tracking Your Progress As A Beginner The article breaks play down into 5 key stats and categorizes results into percentiles drawn from a database with 4,300 players and approximately 120,000 hand...

More of the same.... - So far May has not been much better than April, got so bored today folding hands decided to keep a list of them just to see if it was my imagination or if they really have been as bad as I think! This is what I had over a roughly 1/2 hour period: K9o, Q8o...

Keeping Emotion from Jeopardizing Your Bankroll - Lately, I have had a few conversations with fellow poker players regarding bankroll management. Besides everybody having their own view on what an acceptable minimum bankroll is for any given limit, another personal bankroll consideration has arisen. I...
$500 in the cross hairs. - I can see the $500 mark in my sights. I am at around $450, and I have yet to breakdown and buy PokerTracker. I am not sure what I am waiting for. Happy to have all my $ working for me at the table right now. I actually have my bankroll split among 3 diffe...
The dangers of research... - As a science teacher, research is an integral part of my psychological make up. So I consider reading poker books, articles, and blogs to be another form of research. When I come across some tidbit of information worth considering I go into thought mode a...

Chop, chop, chop. - Another score at my weekly home game! With eight players this week the play was very rock-esk for the first three levels and as players began to drop I found myself winning a small pot here and there to stay alive, but since we were only paying the top tw...

The WPBT - If I was talking to Shana Hiatt during the post game interview it would go something like this: Well Shana, I think I played a good game. I got all my money in with the best hand and lost to a three-outer. Thats poker. Rats! I took the leap and slapped...

April, a very slow month - Playing this month was not much fun. I've been getting very few cards (VP$IP 16.99%) and missing the board most of the time. I've been able to keep my head above water (1.18 BB/Hr) and I'm gradually improving my PFR and AF but it's felt like a grind.The ...
