The pain of No Limit…

Did a 24-hour session yesterday, and ended up winning under $100. It’s quite a frustrating feeling, especially when you know I was up about $1600 after like 22 hours of play.
The last hour was a typical no-limit wreck…. Two sets got all-in called on the turn and beat by flushes, had top two against bottom [...]

Sit & Go Madness

Went on a little sit & go madness last week when I entered a $300 buy-in s&g at the local casino. Ten players signed up, all got 200 in chips, and quickly started battling it out.
In the third hand my AT turned into the nuts and got doubled up by a guy holding 9T to [...]

Ace Ten to Ace Eight, a difference of outs?

Poker Decadence Conference, a site we’re linking to already, posted a nice insight into the difference between A8 and AT on their blog today. I understand what they’re trying to say when they mean you possibly have more outs with the 3-gap straight draw, but that isn’t too relevant when the board is A765, is [...]

It’s been good. :)

Okay, so I came in for a quick update on the 13th letting you all know I was up about $3000, and I managed to squeeze out $1.6k more to end up about $4,600. To me, that’s a serious poker win, and I’m planning on investing it in a trip to Las Vegas.
Will obviously be [...]

Pot Limit Omaha Results

Been working hard on my Pot Limit Omaha game (Sam Farha’s book is not as good as I hoped it would, but it’s still a decent resource), and have taken a little risk and have joined a $10/$20 pot limit game at the casino and hoped to get some good flops as according to Sammy [...]

Tried my hands on a $25/$50 No-Limit Game…

I’m used to playing either 5/5 or 5/10 No Limit Hold’em games, but last night when I arrived at the casino there was no room on either table. I saw one donkey that had been my customer on the 5/10 table playing on the 25/50 though, and quickly started calculating… I didn’t really have enough [...]

This is the flop you’re looking for with pocket fives. Nuff said. Click for full size view.
I had a pic here. It’s gone. Damn hackers!

Interview with Chip Reese

Chip Reese is a poker legend just like Doyle Brunson is, but he’s fallen a little short on the media attention end of the bargain, which isn’t really fair considering both his winnings as his charisma. Anyway, this interview is excellent and shows Chip like the awesome dude he was. Enjoy!

Rest in Piece, Chip!

Poker poker poker!

I’ll probably be out for a couple days as I’ll be doing a lot of POKER POKER POKER! (imagine Marcel Luske’s poker song in the background aight!)
Anyway, I’m doing one Omaha Hi/Lo tournament tonight, and will hopefully be doing cash games for the next two days. Will be back on friday night, hopefully [...]
