I spewed the last two sessions and I couldn’t figure out why exactly. When you start to lose its a great excuse to sit back and do work away from the table to prevent further leaks. You have to create a positive cycle out of poker. Kind of like Lather. wash. rinse. repeat but with chips and money. In the past I would sit there and I couldn’t wait to get back to playing. I’d get back to playin ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/ashthepro/85041-When-Shit-hits-the-fan">(continued)</a>
Check out my blog post. It is not for the advanced poker player, but rather for the person that knows nothing about poker, but there are some cool stories along the way: http://mypokerchronicles.blogspot.com/ Also for those of you that didn’t notice, I am doing a pretty detailed outline for The Eightfold Path to Poker Enlightment. It is in no way a replacement, but ca ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/soleztis/69901-Free-Deuces-Congresswomen-Poker-Fights-and-WSOP">(continued)</a>
I’m working on something that’s going to be beneficial to players of all skill levels but especially for beginners and intermediate players. What I’d like to know from all ya’ll beginners out there (both live and online) is what topics you find the most daunting? What troubles you the most? I could obviously think about what I think the biggest leaks/issues begi ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/fenderjaguar/69311-If-you-re-a-beginner-please-read-this-respond-">(continued)</a>
Last Friday we played a $0.05/$0.10 dealer’s choice cash game at my place on the new(ish) poker table that I brought back from my place at University. It was a 5 handed game the entire night and we played everything from pineapple, crazy pineapple, 2-7 TD, 7 card stud, 5 card draw, PLO, NLHE. I bought in for 200bb and walked away with around 820bb. Last night we played a straight $0.05/$0.10 PLO cash ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/diab0lic/69221-Live-PLO-Games">(continued)</a>
First time ever playing live poker at the casino tonight. It is a long weekend here in Canada, so there should be quite a bit of soft action going around. I will be playing $1/$2 and buying in full once I am comfortable. By comfortable, I mean that I never have to handle chips when I play online, so I am kinda intimidated by calculating the pot size and money behind that my opponents have, if tha ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/straitbizness/68161-Casino-Tonight">(continued)</a>
Over the weekend I had a couple of horrible days. My first bad days (meaning poor play, not just standard downswing) in a couple of months. I was just auto-piloting through and expecting the money to fall out of peoples’ stacks and into mine. Today I changed things. I made sure that each time I 3bet, I did so with a plan. I knew how hard I would push on low flop, what high cards flop I would be triple ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/slowlane123/67931-Auto-pilot-">(continued)</a>
Players are still doing it. They will always do it with middle pairs. If they miss they check fold. If they raise they flopped a set. Thats it. There seems to be a lot of loose passive nits, if that makes any sense. They have a loose limping range but play fit or fold post flop. Bet sizing is weird in live. They telegraph the strength of their hands with raise sizing. They raise a large ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/ashthepro/67081-Checking-dark-in-live-poker">(continued)</a>
The good news is that live poker hasn’t really changed much. The decisions of the other players is still spurred by everyday problems in life. Its more of a game to blow of steam and they still make erratic moves that don’t quite make sense. Its a form of tilt that comes around much more often in smaller spurts eventually leading to a complete melt down. The ones who take it “serious” are jus ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/ashthepro/66951-Live-Poker-Time-Bubble">(continued)</a>
Thats where I got my start playing underground live cash games around Denver. I also used to get into casinos using a fake ID. I had huge tilt problems but wasn’t 1/2 bad. every once in a while I would hop a flight to Vegas with some friends. I did pretty well until the last few trips when I’d spew a bunch. Anyways, I’ve been out of the loop for quite sometimes. Before I knew where all the games were. ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/ashthepro/65701-Back-to-Live">(continued)</a>
I have now banned myself online so now I play live for a few hours after I finish work for the day and everything is going good. I have been working my way through the ‘Thin Red Grind’ and the ‘Thin Red Line’ and they are both amazing series, seriously check those out. I have been finding a lot more spots where it is a profitable to bluff and its 100% due to those series.

So I’ve been casually making my way through some volume and I’m running hotter than the sun atm so figured now would be a good time to make a post. Had a few issues settling into online poker but now it’s coming together OK… I started out (over 1700 hands) as a 38/32/10 with a WTSD% of 30.9 and W$SD% of 35.7 and i was stuck -$62.95 at 10NL. Over the last 3000 hands my stats are 25/ ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/ipwnflips/58421-Things-are-looking-up-and-down-">(continued)</a>
It seems there is a pattern beginning to form. I lost ~$20 dollars online, but won £200 live. The thing about my live game is I feel like I know exactly what everyone is thinking because I can look at them and gauge what they are doing, also the more money at stake means I probably play better. I have been thinking about moving up online so the money means more to me but that is most likely a recipe ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/zomgdavidcarradine/55561-Day-2">(continued)</a>
First day off to an ok start. I had a headache when I stared playing but I put it out of my mind. After my first 500 hands I was up 2BIs but then things went sour. My head was getting worse but I pushed through. I got it in with AKo pre against AA and lost $13 then I lost a couple more hands, the most interesting being: Full Tilt Poker $0.05/$0.10 No Limit Hold’em – 6 players – View hand 1152523 D ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/zomgdavidcarradine/55441-1st-Day">(continued)</a>
After a month and a half of not playing online I finally bit the bullet and jumped back online. Played 2 session where the first I won $350 and the 2nd I lost $1350. I was playing 1/2 plo deep stack on stars and brought in for $400-$500 a time. Even though I overall lost I felt good about jumping back online. Live play while being entertaining and social, ha ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/howmuchyougotleft/32691-Finaly-Finaly-Back-Online-and-Back-To-Losing-lol">(continued)</a>
After all my plans at the beginning of the month to get back online and to start playing again I still have not made the jump. In a way I am happy with myself as it means I have reached the stage where I am not just jumping at any game which is going and playing regardless. Instead I am focusing on other stuff which is going on in my life like working on my s ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/howmuchyougotleft/32001-How-Do-I-Get-Back-To-Playing-Online-Please-Help-">(continued)</a>
It’s going to be a pretty sick next 3 weeks for me. Borgata this weekend. Then again, June 26-29. Then Vegas July 1-5. So stoked for this. Overall cost of trips: $1100 ish. Hopefully after all of that pokering I can run avg – good and freeroll the whole month. Like I’ve done every other time I’ve done a live poker weekend / week. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PS: anyone that’s there during those times drop me a line.
Ahh The month of May is over. Was an up and down month for me. Firstly I decided to spend more time playing more hands and over the last 2 weeks been playing 200 and 100 plo. Im not going to lie its been pretty tough. When I was not playing much hands I think I was able to focus more and be more fresh and also just fully focus on one table. With my commi ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/howmuchyougotleft/26121-Grinding-May-Tough-Month-Lessions-Learnt-Off-To-Vegas">(continued)</a>
Thought I’d give a few impressions of a rare foray into a bricks and motor game. (Not abandoned online play – still grinding but running a bit flat. Will post an update on that when some progress – positive or negative – is made) Had the opportunity when on a business trip to use my February monthly allowance at a £10 rebuy tournament at Maxims, Reading, UK. First observation is that most people ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/philb287/10231-Going-Live">(continued)</a>
