Here are some hands I wrote up for the Cardplayer article Final Table Takedown. These were some of my more interesting hand from the final 2 and final tables of the tournament. Hand 1: A5s is so pretty, how could you fold? So right now there are 12 people left in the tournament and both ta... Read More
This is maybe the sickest call I’ve ever made, just fyi (I’ve called with worse than Q high before, but this is just ridiculous). OK so it’s Day 1 of the PCA, and we’re still in level 1 (50/100). I’m down to 12k from my original 20k because I tried to squeeze... Read More
Happy Halloween! So today I played the $20 buy in Double Deuce and the $10 buy in 15k guarantee on Full Tilt Poker. Unfortunately I have nothing interesting to say about either of these tournaments. I got KOed in a competitive 7000th place out of roughly 11000 entrants in the DD. And in the 15k I was KOed in a classic coin flip situation. Blinds were 250/500 with 50 antes. My stack was 5112 to start the hand. I was dealt a beautiful ... <a href="/blogs/jblackman/43261-10-31-10">(continued)</a>
It’s hard and takes a crapload of time. I just finished a review of 11 hands and it took me almost an hour. I think it was worth the time though and I plan to continue doing this. Reviewing process will probably go a bit quicker in the future since I don’t have to think about how I’ll do the review. I used to review all my hands by mostly just seeing what SNGwiz told me. Sure I played around with ranges a ... <a href="/blogs/tychoon/41281-Not-reviewing-for-the-sake-of-reviewing">(continued)</a>
As my blog description mentions, I have been playing onling poker since 2005. For a good part of that time I stuck with sit ‘n goes and MTT’s. I have had some success at times placing in a good portion of my MTT tries and even a final table ot two. But, my bankroll just doesn’t support playing in the big tournaments. I messed with multi-tableing sng’s without much luck. Way back when before certain pieces of legislation got s ... <a href="/blogs/chtoombs/26911-In-The-Beginning-">(continued)</a>
Yes it’s the only time of the year when I play holdem :) It happens for 1 day only and involves the Pokerstars blogger tournament! I finished 3rd the very first year it happened (and I was screwed from winning when allin as slight chip leader with A8 losing to QT) It’s always good fun and Stars are giving a couple of prizes out for people who twitter or blog during the tournament. Lucky I keep my twitter ... <a href="/blogs/ribbo/6941-It-s-that-time-of-the-year-again-">(continued)</a>
