So after coming down off the 4/8 8-game high I played a little 2/4 8-game with mixed results, killing limit games and getting run over in big bet games. I also checked out a Triple Draw tracker that’s in beta that revealed that I was getting my ass handed to me at TD. [...]

For now, my time at 4/8 8-game is over. But that’s not a bad thing. I had some hope that I could run my roll up to $3k or more and actually play that game consistently, but that’s a lot to ask.
I got my Stars roll up to $2000, barely,and very [...]

I’d mentioned that over the weekend I had gotten my stars roll up over $1900 multiple times but every day dropped back down a good bit.

I don’t have the hand history handy, but the biggiest pot I was involved in was an O8 pot with KJJT in a raised pot. Someone early raised, [...]

I put in good, long sessions Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Each day I saw my bankroll rise briefly above the 1900 mark(remember that 1540 was my stopping point on Friday), and then come crashing [...]

The next 2 posts are in order starting with this one, this ended up extraordinarily long and I’m breaking it down into parts. So make sure you read the post below this one too.
So here’s the story. I play off and on these days(where these days is this entire year tbh). I have [...]

FRIDAY PART THREE: My 8-game buddy is playing with me. We chat in IRC while we play, but two things. We NEVER discuss hands when we’re both in them, we never advise during hands/decisions, and we never, ever softplay each other. He and I are destroying the game. At [...]

The biggest pot I’ve won online in quite some time. the “4/8″ in 4/8 8-game refers to the limit rounds, all limit games are $4/$8. the NL and PL rounds are $1/$2, and the buyin for the game is based on standard $1/$2 NL/PL games, with a max buyin of $200. [...]
