Sidetracked and Forum Challenge - Went to post this morning and my blog was all messed up :) Spent the last 2 hours re-working it with another template since I couldnt figure out why it was messed up. I liked the colours on this one so played with it a bit. Also seems to work better, Im g...

When I'm happy with a session - Yesterday I had a session which I was pretty happy with. Yes, I won. But that is not what made me happy; its that I was able to win after being down. While its nice to win, its even nicer to know I can knuckle down, be patient and turn a losing sessio...

More leaks! - This morning (while waiting for my virus scanner to finish, courtesy of my youngest daughter who managed to infect my system... again ..sigh) I was re-reading a PSO article by Nolan Dallas. In the article he says: My starting hand requirement includes ...

A so-so week - Had one of those up and down weeks: +$3.52, +$62.87, -$49.24, + $9.75, +$28.50, -$1.25, +$1.75 for a net gain of $55.89. Which works out to 27.945BB won over 1,205 hands giving 2.32BB/100. A somewhat sub-par performance as Id like to average 3BB/100. I...

What you don't do can hurt you - I had a nice 6-max session on Stars tonight, up 26BB. It would have been around 52BB except for two hands which I grossly misplayed. The first by being to passive, not raising when I should have. On the second one I fell victim to FPS, check/calling when ...

NYSPOKER is well!! - For those of you that have been concerned, I am well. Thanks for your thoughts. Actually, I have discovered that their are other things in life that bring me joy, other than poker. Not that I didnt appreciate all that was good in my life, before but, I...

How not to chase a bonus - Well, I finished my June bonus chase at Party. I earned a $150 bonus but lost $115 chasing it for a net profit of $35. Not exactly what I envisioned when I started the chase :( Turns out I made a number of errors on this chase which hopefully I will not r...

Toto, were not in Vegas anymore - Back home again in Indiana! I had a wonderful time in Las Vegas. The bloggers are an eclectic mix that Im sure will always make for a great time and I am definitely making myself available for the next bloggers gathering. Friday evening I strolled into ...

Life and Poker - Ive spent alot of time over the last few months thinking about Poker and the long run. I know the long run is the cumulative result of the decisions I make each time I sit down to play and that, if I consistently make good decisions the long run will look...
Does prolonged play at one site 'train' your playing style? - Ive been on a crazy downswing the last few days that appears to have been set off by my move from Stars to Party. When I first moved to $1/$2 on Stars I had a nice run at the 6-max tables; I was up 65.5BB over 1,773 hands played in 9 days for an average...

Party June Bonus Chase - Well, so far, not so good. Played 167 Hands and lost $33.50, 16.75BB, half of which were lost as a direct result of my own idiocy :( In one hand I was on the Button and raised 1st in with JJ. The BB called and the flop came 3 8 4. The BB checked, I bet an...
VP$IP and PFR% - Ive been reading Jason Pohls PokerPages articles on blind defense in which he refers to playing 40% of your hands and raising 18% of your hands and I realized that while I have done some VP$IP exercises Im still pretty fuzzy on what cards are most likely ...

Not much of a week - Not the greatest week :( Monday was ok, up 4.75BB. Had a rough Tuesday, down 35.5BB, followed by a mediocre Wednesday and Friday; down 2BB and 1.5BB respectively. Took a break on Thursday and did not play any hands. Things picked up on Saturday, up 31...

Reality has set in - Knew it was coming, impossible to maintain 19BB/100. Ended May with a fizzle instead of a bang; dropped 35BB yesterday evening. There are times I should just not play; hubby and kids were out so I decided to amuse myself, instead I amused a number of peo...
The LAG Effect - Ruined a perfectly good session this morning; was doing well and then KABOOM! Drives me nuts when I let this happen in a session. So I sat down and went through all my hands. What I found was that Id been hit by The LAG Effect. Hopefully the effort w...
