Stuff

Geez, with a blog contributed to by four different poker players/gamboolers, you would think we could have more freaking content. Stupid donkeys need to learn to type with their stupid hooves!
Here are some things that I swear you will find interesting. Really.
- Chris Moneymaker is hawking liquor at Winn-Dixie instead of playing at the WSoP.

Good Weekend

By posting this, I am probably just sending my poker karma hurtling toward bolivian…but I had a nice weekend. I think I need to enjoy this while it lasts, because I am pretty sure the bottom will fall out any day now…
Friday – Sunday
hands: 1545
vpip: 34.4 (lots of the tables I was on went [...]

Happy, Happy

While I still have not righted my poker ship, I did manage to do well at some casinos, which was VERY much needed. I hit Monaco Gold for a $200 bonus, and have a $432 profit and I’m still waiting for my $50 extra bonus that they offered me via email. I then hit Wallsteet [...]

Everything looks better…

…in sweet, sweet, Carolina Blue, don’t you think?
I never did thank Simms for adding this UNC theme
In other news, daily chat between Subby and Quiksand on 5/10 6m suckered me back in. After a terrible, terrible starting run(down 100BB in my first 5 sessions 2-tabling), I have started to recover a little [...]

Greenstein’s Player Ratings

Most professional poker players have seriously lame, self-aggrandizing web sites. Few updates, mostly fluff, old pictures. I stumbled across a cool one today though. Bary Greenstein has the usual information, but also has a page where he rates many of the top poker players. A regular in the big game and in tourneys, Greenstein has [...]

Subby Challenge: Hand Post 5

What’s my move after getting 3 bet on this turn? No read on CO. BB was loose and very aggressive pre-flop (PT has him at 27% PFR over 85 hands and a VP$IP over 40%), less so post flop. Please note that I clearly misread Ed Miller’s starting hand chart. I’m going strictly by that [...]

Under the Gun in 5/10 6 Max

One part of my game that I am pretty confident in now is probably the easiest to square away – non-blind preflop play.
