So I finally got revenge today on Scott Fischman on a sick cooler of a hand where we got it all in the flop in a monster pot with sets. Check it out:

So today I was playing some deep-stacked Mixed Games on Full Tilt when Jeremiah Smith (a professional poker player and sponsored by Full Tilt) sat at my table. Jeremiah is to my knowledge a cash-game player mainly and so you probably don't know who he is but he made a deep run of the main event a few years ago and hosts PokerRoad's Cash Plays podcast. Anyway, there have actually been regular appearances from pros during the past couple of weeks ... I think it's because of the upcoming WSOP having more mixed games events and are given more prestige and so they want to work out the rust in all the games since they probably play NLH/PLO all the time.

Anyway we ended up chatting and he is a really nice guy and represents the site very well. Typically pros don't even chat with you even if you're playing with them in the game, or sometimes aren't very good sports. Obviously Jeremiah was playing a lot lower stakes than he usually does so he probably didn't care if he lost a couple buy-ins.

So basically there were a few hands we played where like I was left scratching my head afterward with how poorly he played. The first was a $0.50/1.00 NLH hand where he basically called my shove on the flop with no pair, no draw with 6 outs and obviously hits for a $175.60 pot:

The other is a PLO hand where he calls my turn shove drawing to 6 outs, which in my mind was pretty terrible (really doesn't make sense to me why he called) and I end up holding for a $138.70 pot:

So basically I decided to write a blog to talk about my life as a part-time poker player. I guess I mainly play online at Full Tilt Poker (but definitely play on other sites as well). I think the one thing I pride myself in is learning all of the games I can. Right now I regularly play small stakes mixed games on Full Tilt.

The games I play are:
Limit Hold'em ($2/4 - $3/6)
Limit Omaha Hi/Lo 8 or Better ($2/4 - $3/6)
Limit Stud Hi ($2/4 - $3/6)
Limit Stud Hi/Lo 8 or Better ($2/4 - $3/6)
Razz ($2/4 - $3/6)
Pot Limit Omaha ($0.25/0.50 - $0.5/1)
No Limit Hold'em ($0.25/0.50 - $0.5/1)

In the future I hope to learn:
Limit Badugi
Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Basically this site will be where I post some of my experiences and some hands/results as well.
