I had a intensely satisfying day today. After about 2 weeks of playing like a scared weak-tightie, I decided to play like a maniac today – not like a 50/30 guy, but I was limping much less, raising and re-raising a ton post-flop instead of just calling down. I think I might have caught some [...]

I took a few days off from poker last week to rest and recharge, and since the wife and I just spent $2000 unexpected dollars, it is time to get back into the fray. I’ve signed up for the special bonuswhores.com Victor Chandler 100% to $1000 deal. I got about 3-4 hours in yesterday at [...]

So I decided to play some more NL today – started with a NL200 table while I was doing the treadmill, then played two more while I was watching basketball this afternoon. In all, I played 433 hands. I won $1197. It was pretty crazy – lots of tasty stacking. I only really sucked out [...]

I have to say the 2001fp is worth its weight in gold.Â? Wow, it seriously seemed like I had been playing in the stone ages.Â? The poker gods agreed and gave me a nice run of cards for a nearly $200 night.Â? That is half of what I bought the monitor for [...]

This has to be one of the best ways to spend your VIP points, if you’re lucky enough to have enough points, and to be browsing the store when this one time offer went up:

Well, since my fun night at 15/30 it has been fairly uneventful. Being the complete and utter donkey that I am, I went and lost $500 of my $800 in 15/30 winnings the following night in tourneys and 400NL. I flamed out of a mtt 50+5 and two 30+3 SNGs. In my final 30+3 I [...]

So I had one of those nights last night where even Chip Reese isn’t coming out ahead. We have all had those and I’ll spare you the details, but I managed to drop 30bb in 600 hands. The silver lining is I finally finished off the pokerstars reload and a cool $120 was placed into [...]

Well I finally ordered a dell 2001fp 20″ LCD monitor today. I believe that this is the same one that Radii puchased earlier and it sounds like he is very pleased with it. Hopefully this will pay for itself rather quickly with multitabling without any overlap. Looks like it will be here on friday so [...]

It’s funny how you wake up one day and do something that is completely at odds with all of your well-laid plans.
Yesterday I came home to find my $800 March rakeback payment sitting in Neteller along with $100 I had forgotten to cash out from two weeks ago. I still had my $1,200 surplus in [...]
