I generally hate advertising as a rule. It wastes my time, it is usually pretty annoying, and it is almost always aimed at people with a more primitive sense of humor than me. Now thats not to say I don’t love a good football-in-the-crotch scene now and again, but most ads come up woefully... Read More
OK – lost a couple of BI’s yesterday, which is not a good thing. Never is. But after reflecting on this, I think now I am able to be objective and say how or why this happened. I know I played badly, that is easy to say. But can I specifically note why, so I think this how I came to lose 2 BI’s: 1. Played 2 long. Look at the graph, got back to even but wanted to try to win 1 BI before I ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/captainscope/58281-I-lose-but-do-I-know-why-">(continued)</a>

I lost an early biggish pot when I ran my top pair into a set and a flush draw and I found it a bit difficult to deal with the early loss. Had some focus problems and probably played hands too hard and fast after that. My later sessions were much better but there were still some common theme ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/richard/18011-Can-t-sprint-across-the-desert">(continued)</a>
Recently I played a HULA match against boc4life to determine which team would move into the playoffs. Unfortunately I lost, but During this match, many interesting hands arose. Here is one that, I thought, illustrated a couple of great concepts when it comes to bluffing on drawy board textures. First I’ll post then hand, then I’ll analyze it: Full Tilt Poker $100/$200 Limit Hold’em – 2 ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/ontherail15/8201-A-Hand-vs-Boc4Life">(continued)</a>
OK, so in an effort not to be such a spewtard, I’ve taken a nice big bit of paper, put it next to my computer and written what I consider to be the 3 Commandments of 10NL. 1. PLAY TIGHT 2. DON’T BLUFF 3. VALUE BET That should do it. Every time before I make a decision at the tables, I’m going to look at this bit of paper to remind me what I should do. There’s no n ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/thelynchmob/2741-The-3-Commandments-of-10NL">(continued)</a>
