$2/$5 at Rama - This afternoon my husband and I drove out to Casino Rama to try some live play. Its only the second time Ive played Holdem in a Casino. While keeping track of the pot and odds is a little more difficult than it is when playing online, have to say I do lik...
Playing poker and new relationships (or, Hey Felicia, I have a new wife!) - I have a new girlfriend. There are things I look for in a relationship that may lead to the possibility of perhaps maybe being long term. (Wow..could that be more vague?)

Still struggling at $1/$2 - It wasnt a good week, down 57BB. I started playing this level on May 26th, 3 months now and still dont have a handle on the level. Ive been trying to figure out just what is different between .50/$1 6-max and $1/$2 6-max. Is it the make-up of the players?...

Kathy F***ing Leibert... - This may be the funniest description of a color I have ever read in my life. A dealer from the WSOP (http://wsop-dealer.kcpoker.net) REALLY hates Kathy Leibert. He goes on and on and on about her and his tirade included this description of her jogging sui...

Behind every leak.... - there is a confused mind :( Ive been thinking alot lately about post-flop leaks and how to plug them and came to the simple conclusion that the vast majority are the result of confusion at the table. During the heat of play I suddenly find myself unsure...

Woot! Back in black! - Yeah, made it back into the black at $1/$2; up 27BB :) I am inordinately pleased with myself, I survived a horrific downswing that went on for two months and was able to buckle down and play (for the most part) a solid game. Still do dumb things but Im le...

I may have found a new home! - I have been killing the $25 NL games at UB, through a combination of tight pay andchoice table selection. Here is a nice hand from this evening. Just left a table where the fish had pretty much all busted out. I got up looking for a juicier table. I ma...

Lesson learned, I hope - Ive been thinking about a response bugsbunny made to my response in this Checking the turn post on ITH. The post refers to a HU situation but Ive been looking over my hands and I think I make the same error in a variety of situations. For example, yes...

If you want a laugh ... - check out my daughters blog . I know, every one thinks their kids are wonderful, but I kid you not; my daughters mind wanders off on the oddest tangents, I always get a kick out of her comments on the way the world works :) Played two more $1/$2 sessio...
