Some thoughts on my game - I been really satisfied with improvements as a player. Ive come a long way from the old days when I was playing $2/$4. I considered $4/$8 a big game. My strategy was very simplistic. Call when I have big cards, a pocket pair or a suited ace. Raise with a ...
Playing like you have a pair of nuts in the hole - You going to Kennys tonight? I asked Armin over the phone. It was around 4:30pm. There was a $50+10 with a rebuy tournament at 7pm.

Yo Eleven (fifty) - Got up at 2, went and picked up my grandma (the other one this time) and headed out to one of my favorite spots--The Unique Thrift Store. Complete craziness inside that place. Rows upon rows of useless shit, with a few priceless items inbetween. The whole...

Rising again - I got up today, at 3 pm, and entered my usual 25 + 2 sit n go on Stars. With four of us left I got my chips in pre-flop with Ace/Jack, my opponent had Jack/Ten. It was a good spot, about 70% of the time I will win this matchup. He made his straight on the...

Uh oh - OK, I guess I'll sum up everything that's been happening. First of all, I continued playing last night and finished with a loss of $180. The cards were butt ugly. The turn and river cards scorched me time and time again. But, that's poker. Sometimes ...

Veering off the poker track - Today was not a normal day, so I'm going to document it. Someday I plan to go back and read all of this again. If you're only here to see if I won or lost, and maybe get a yuck or two, skip today's entry.First I went to a funeral. I was not close to the w...

No heart - Today's WSOP satellite consisted of 269 players. We each started with 2500 in chips, and blinds started at 10/20, with a raise every 30 minutes. Translation: the tournament was going to be very slow moving. First off, I found myself playing on the toughes...

Don't hate the mailman - Hate the mail.Today started off on a very bad note. Very bad. I opened up a letter that informed me I had not passed the final exam I took two weeks ago. To say this news was surprising is a gigantic understatement. I honestly thought I had aced it. Obvio...

Finding WSOPland - Late this afternoon I drove to Crisis Connection to work my switched phone counseling shift. As I was stuck in heavy traffic on Highway 100 I remembered how much I hated dealing with rush hour every day. It wasn't that bad at my recent internship because ...
