There ain’t been much poker talk around here of late – and for good reason, I ain’t been playing very much.
Poker is an incredible game, a real challenge, and when I first came upon it I jumped in with both feet.  But there’s a problem…
There are two ways to play – on-line, or in a […]

Everyone has heard the expression: “Can’t win for losing.”  And I think that we have all experienced the felling.  But if you live long enough…
Yesterday I logged on to my favorite on-line poker room.  I get involved in a single table Sit N Go No Limit game – the toughest tournament I’ve ever been involved […]

I haven’t put up a poker related entry for a while – I know that most of you have no real interest in the topic – but indulge me, if you will.  And if your name is Mister Subliminal, you might want to take notes – this could be a life changing post for you.
I […]

Be still. My heart.
My multi-table Sit N Go tournament life has turned around – thanks to that book that I refuse to identify (especially to you, Subliminal!)
Poker is a very complex game – one that takes considerable skill – so imagine my delight in destroying the games of players far better at the it than […]

So like I got this book last Wednesday – no, I will not tell you the title – and it’s changed my life.  Well, my poker tournament life, that is.

For whatever reason, my new found knowledge of the game has done nothing but cause me to lose.  The losses are not significant in terms […]

Stupid is, as stupid dose – or something like that.
For whatever reason, I continue to have my ass handed to me at the poker table – the past week has been a nightmare.  I mean it has me not only demoralized, but downright depressed. 
So I have this “come to Jesus meeting” with myself, decide […]

I suppose any number of you – my dear readers – have lost sleep over my admission of having “my ass handed to me” at the poker table this week.  No doubt you are wondering just how much one would have to lose to be in that condition.  Well, are you sitting down?  The […]

You know, I might have been too hasty in calling this a good week – at least where that poker thing is considered.
After a sterling run, I had – how should I put this – I had my ass handed to me today.  I did most everything right, but the gods were not on my […]
