[This article originally appeared in BLUFF Magazine.] Man. Talk about giving away the story in the title. I didn’t know what to call this one. I could have called it “A Really Neat Hand, Seriously, I Mean It.†Or I could have called it “Now I’ve Seen Everything†which is how I felt ... Read More
You heard it here first: table selection is not important at 6-max limit hold’em. Mere table selection will not make you a winner if you’re just breaking even. Don’t get me wrong, you absolutely need to pay attention to game selection at lower limits to maximize your win-rate and combat ... Read More
It’s been a while since I updated this blog. I’ve been busy with writing my thesis and looking for work in the real world. I’m going to try and get back into posting poker ideas and analysis. I have some mixed games ideas that I’ve fleshed out and want to write about. Coming soon… Also, as an amuse-bouche, here is a hand played by DC coach Vingtcent, which I thought was mildly hilarious: Poker Stars $1000+$50 Limit Hold’em Tournamen ... <a href="/blogs/jjd323/81191-Good-Morning">(continued)</a>
To all of my loyal blog fans… Hello? Is this thing on? 1…2…3…. testing… Here is my last installment of my poker history for the year 2009. I have been writing blog entries on the some other topics at another site, so I apologize for the long delay. After a bout with shingles, being a new parent of twin boys and being utterly exhausted, I decided to take the rest of July off. In fact, I hadn’t really known wheth ... <a href="/blogs/figaro3000/79951-My-poker-history-2009-Part-3">(continued)</a>
I haven’t given an update on much of my poker playing for a good reason. My poker challenge of zero to hero was going well up until the month of September when I focused primarily on NLHE. The easiest way to describe it would be…falling off a cliff followed by an uptick to breakeven over the course of another 3,000 hands followed by another cliff. Much like the offensive line of the Chicago Bears this seas ... <a href="/blogs/figaro3000/78451-So-how-is-the-poker-playing-going-">(continued)</a>
I just got back from a long weekend in Las Vegas on Sunday and was preparing to write a “Trip Report”, but decided against it so that I can get my thoughts together and come up with a theme to my weekend. Instead I want to talk about something that has been going through my poker mind lately and that is my waining interest in playing poker. Without going into too much detail, I only played about 3 hours of poker over the course o ... <a href="/blogs/figaro3000/77531-Glory-Days-">(continued)</a>
If I was playing like a lion in March, then I was definitely being showered in April as my rungood continued. I started off the month playing .50-1 and dabbled a little bit in NL10. How hard could NLHE be? After a few days of breakeven no-limit, I pushed the idea to the side and finally started to add some 1-2 FR LHE tables in to the mix with some nice success. My plan was to play my regular preflop game, but to ... <a href="/blogs/figaro3000/76031-My-poker-history-2009-Part-2">(continued)</a>
2009 was the first year that I felt more confident in my poker game, especially when it came to LHE. I had been playing .50-1 online and knew that I was a winning player over a long enough sample size. I had built my online bankroll up to the point where I had a good amount of cushion for the next level up at 1-2 if I felt confident in the jump. Normally you want between 250-500 BBs at the stake you’re normally a ... <a href="/blogs/figaro3000/75701-My-poker-history-2009-Part-1">(continued)</a>
So I decided to learn how to play Backgammon a few days ago. I saw a Hoyle’s rules book in the beach house where I am staying and took a break from kid duty to read the rules. There was a backgammon set, but I didn’t have anyone to play with, so I downloaded a droid application and went on to play over 200 games at different skill levels. This may be the next thing I become hooked on, unless I try Bacca ... <a href="/blogs/figaro3000/75351-Coming-to-you-live-in-God-s-Country-">(continued)</a>
I hope all is well with everyone. Things are going alright with my online challenge. Things were pretty tough for the first 3/4 of July as I got cold decked and dominated rather often, but then saw a some run good the last week which put me in the black. My bankroll is now up to $30 and hopefully I will be able to make it $50 by September 1st. I mentioned before that I had my 2nd straight losing session at NLHE live poker a ... <a href="/blogs/figaro3000/73741-Some-more-updates">(continued)</a>
I am posting these blog entries concurrently on another site just FYI. http://dhani-thebarberschair.blogspot.com/ Last I left you was basically here ( http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/35/micro-stakes-limit/time-pack-my-bags-nc-233348/ ). My unrealistic expectations and low frustration tolerance were wreaking havoc on my mental stability when it came to poker. Looking back on how I reacted t ... <a href="/blogs/figaro3000/70191-My-poker-history-July-December-2008">(continued)</a>
Not much is happening in the way of poker the past 2 weeks. I’ve been posting quite a bit in the LLSNL forums and to no surprise there are the same type of characters including the know-it-all, abusive, sarcastic, jackwagon. Oh well. My online challenge is moving along as I am up to $10.45 playing .02-.04 FRLHE mostly. Some of that is rakeback on Cake, but since Black Friday, I am up +$8 ... <a href="/blogs/figaro3000/69941-My-poker-history-Jan-to-June-2008">(continued)</a>
