There are way too many sharks in online poker nowadays so just out of curiosity I looked at a page on poker sites with the most fish. It seems there are some sites like Sportsbook.com (which I don’t have an account at) that have more than average amounts of easy players to beat. It makes [...]
So, like the mafia, poker has sucked me back in again. I bought in for $200 a month ago and rode some swings up to almost $500, and then back down to about $350, trying different styles of play the whole time — re-learning the game.
After my latest crash, I have re-nitted myself. I just [...]
I’ve been playing very well lately, but I know a heater when I see one. I’ve made about $500 in three days playing twenty and thirty dollar Sit ‘n Gos — not even multi-tabling, just hitting a few casually every day.
If anybody needs some good luck out there, I’ll let you rub my belly for [...]
I’ve taken a break from poker for a few days, but I think my eggs are trying to tell me something.
Those crying calls sure do add up don’t they? In NL, it makes a lot less sense to make a crying call than in limit. I can see that now.
Same for bluff catchers. At 50NL no one is going to run a complicated multi-street bluff. No one. Ever. Ever Ever.
They are not playing back at me.
If it looks as if they are playing back at me, refer to rule number 1.
If he raises the turn, he has it.
Dont stackoff 100bb with top pair top kick.
Don’t fear variance.
The confused player calls; therefore, confuse them when you have a good hand.
If you’re not sure, fold.
At this [...]
I stacked off twice tonight — once with Top Pair Top Kick and then again with Top Two Pair. Both times were against a set.
I really should have known better. There’s no reason I would have been getting action on those hands if I wasn’t up against something better. But for some reason I forgot [...]

I donkbet a river today when I backed into the nuts. I got a long think and a fold out of it.
But then later on in the session I flopped two pair and I got ‘em all in against the same guy and his Top Pair/Good Kicker. So, there is some value in the donkbet. [...]
In the middle of February:

I have 19 Buy Ins for $50 No Limit Hold ‘em. One more to go.
Two weeks later…
Friday, February 27, 2009
I just earned 20 buy-ins for $50 No Limit Hold ‘Em, so I’m moving up in stakes.
Yes, it took me two weeks to make that last fifty bucks. But [...]
