Doing great in Online Poker!
I’ve been running good online for the last couple months, but the whole online gig has always been up & down for me. I don’t know why, but I have a hunch it might have something to do with the fact that all types of limits are available just one click away. When you have [...]
Biggest losing month in a year
I’ve played a lot of poker in my time, but it really has been a very very long time since I’ve had such a big losing month. I’ve decided to take a 30-day break from poker to rethink my strategies and allow for me to reconsider what I want from this game…
At this point, I’m [...]
Funny story… :D
Okay, so we’re playing a home game tournament and I’m down to 400 chips with 50/100 blinds. I’m in the big blind and I decide to shove/call whatever happens as I can’t really just ship off 25% of my stack, right?
Anyway, I decide not to look and just go for it. Guy in middle position [...]
Lost a huge pot after a one-outer
One-outers always hurt. They hurt because they mean you have a strong hand — they hurtbecause the other guy/woman sucked out in the worst possible manner possible in poker — and they hurt because they’re usually part of a big pot.
I had such a painful even tonight and I feel like sharing.
I’m on the button [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
