Stars $1 Sit'n'go - Woot! I finally won one of these damned things; a whole $14.00...LOL. It took me 16 tries, played my first one May 28th, managed to place 2nd in my 4th attempt ($10.00) so my ROI is only sitting around 35%, not great. I hadnt played any for awhile, yester...

Practicing, practicing - Last week I ordered the latest upgrade to Turbo Texas Holdem , mainly because theyve added a new module to help test your observational skills. As I figured, my skills in this area are not the greatest; I scored 63 on the Easy test. A good score is 75, ...

I'm out of the woods... - Im out of the dark, Im out of the night ... at least, I hope I am. I woke up this morning with this paraphrased Wizaord of Oz song running through my head, which Im taking as a good omen :) Truth be told, Im only treading water at $.050/$1 but at least...

The adventure continues - Being a professional online poker player has got to be one of the most boring jobs ever. Poker is so much fun, but to grind out a living folding, folding, and folding some more would make me buy a high power rifle and venture in search of and unoccupied b...

Uncle! - Thats it, Ive had enough. Im getting killed at $1/$2, down 168.31BB, which is a little more than all I won at $.050/$1. My bankroll is still over $600 (only because of bonus money) but it would be foolish to continue at this level when I am obviously not...
1000+ visitors!! - My blog has topped 1000 visits, wow! I imagine mostly repeat visitsby about 10 people, then some random visits. I am encouraged none-the-less. I have not been posting much, as I have not been playing much. I am hoping to get a few more hours a week in...

Anybody following the World Series of Poker? - This years main event has been quite an event. Over 5600 registered, 3 heats for Day 1, $7.5 million for first place. Simply incredible. Of all the action, the most amazing thing to me is that the defending champ, Greg Fossilman Raymer o...

Finally, a decent session - After reviewing a good number of my hands and working through Matthews Poker Tutor lesson I finally managed to put in a decent session. I still made some egregious errors, the worst being a catastrophic laydown. I had A A flop came 3 6 3 , I bet a...

Who am I kidding??? - I havent played a hand since July 1st, when I lost, again :( Much as Id like to think June was simply a bad run I began to suspect it was more a matter of bad play so I decided to review every hand Ive played at $1/$2. This led to me wishing I had a bette...

Awful month, glad to see the end of it - Cant say Im not happy to see the end of June; Ive had a horrible month. Weird thing is, my preflop hands were pretty good (VP$IP is a little high but thats because most hands were played at 6-max). Otherwise things look fine, until you look at my BB/Hr ...
I went for a beer and a poker game broke out - I headed out to the local Buffalo Wild Wings for some hot wings and cold beer and as we were walking in a man asks, Hey, you guys want to play in a poker tournament? Now the really odd thing is that Im with my buddy Brendan, who usually organizes a Tue...
