A glance at the Shark Scope leader board and it’s clear there are plenty making good money on these tables. In fact, Shark Scope estimates one-third of all STT players are profitable. Here are my reasons for why I enjoy this format and why it works for me. The final point, which may be surprising, is [...]

11th in the First Festival Event – Gabriel Forde

Date: Thu, Aug 27, 2009 Professional Internet Live Tournament

Here is my report from the first event of the festival. It’s a 200 pound freezeout with 10,000 starting stacks and 25 minute clock.

My Bike Got Nicked! – luckyjim

Date: Wed, Aug 26, 2009 Professional Internet Live Tournament

I’m still sleeping in Mayfair but hanging out at the VHS Video Basement. On the way home last night I stopped outside Napket on Piccadilly to look for food.

Hooky – Derek Kelly

Date: Tue, Aug 25, 2009 Professional Internet Live Tournament

Jack ‘Hooky’ Brown was a character. No question. A man short in stature with what could be charitably described as Romanesque facial features that were dominated by a nose which was probably responsible for the moniker he went by.

Leading a School of Fish – Jordan ‘Case Ace’ Richmond

KARMA – Scott Crousillac

Date: Thu, Aug 20, 2009 Professional Internet Live Tournament

Just for the record, I hate bullies. That’s not to say that I don’t believe in strong, aggressive play, because I do. I don’t mind table-bullies, I just don’t like bullies. And it seems like unwarranted hostility is becoming commonplace in poker these days. Far too many players are watching the Mike Matusows, the Tony [...]

Desert Island Discs – Marc ‘Max Jackal’ Jones

Date: Wed, Aug 19, 2009 Professional Internet Live Tournament

Internet poker is a strange beast. At its heart is an exciting, demanding game but ask anyone that has played for any length of time and they will also tell you it can become incredibly boring. Talk to any internet pro and I’m sure this topic will come up amongst other areas like downswings before [...]

Date: Tue, Aug 18, 2009 Professional Internet Live Tournament

We all claim to do it……but are our notes sufficient to help us put a player on a hand next time we come face to face? Online records and notes are easier to keep with the help of software such as Poker Tracker and Poker Office. But when it comes to B&M games, either we don’t [...]

Date: Mon, Aug 17, 2009 Professional Internet Live Tournament

Like many of you, I am in a constant balancing act between my desire to play lots of poker, and my desire not to have to hire a divorce lawyer. Some men struggle with the wife vs poker issue for years and years until finally realizing what’s truly important in this life: poker. Read the rest [...]

Making Good Decisions – Dave Scharf

Date: Fri, Aug 14, 2009 Professional Internet Live Tournament

Lately I have been giving some thought to the power of visualization and suggestion. In particular, I am motivated by many psychological studies demonstrating that people who are instructed to nod their heads while listening to a speech are much more likely to agree with the speaker than those who are instructed to shake their [...]

Blood Everywhere: Thank God for the NHS! – luckyjim

Date: Fri, Aug 14, 2009 Professional Internet Live Tournament

A friend was showing me a house he was thinking of squatting. We had to climb in through a window at head height. We weren’t the ones who’d broken the glass, we just wanted to climb through it. But the table I was standing on fell away, and as I tried to pull myself inside [...]
