Make Small mistakes

Date: Thu, Jul 17, 2008 Internet Live Tournament

I watched a Rizen vid recently that talks about making small mistakes vs the big mistakes. Poker is a game of mistakes after all and the player making less will win most often. Unfortunately i tend to make the big mistakes late in tournies most often... its something i continue to work on. This is a hand from the Daily double B tourny tonight on...

Still Pokering

Date: Wed, Jul 2, 2008 Internet Live Tournament

Sunday Tournaments

Date: Mon, Jun 16, 2008 Internet Live Tournament

Today I felt pretty good about my play, the best i've felt in some time actually. I've been playing pretty good for the past few days. Bubbled a 180 on Wednesday then final tabled one on Thursday. On Saturday i finished 23/1538 in a $5 FO tourny. I played in three tournaments on Stars today; The Daily 15k, The Sunday 100k and the $3+r 25k...

Reboot

Date: Wed, Jun 11, 2008 Internet Live Tournament

Haven't Updated in a while because i haven't been playing as much or that well. In times like these i tend to limit my play & posts until i get something going again. I feel things may be coming around some what so here goes. After weeks of struggling and lack of focus i've decided to reboot so to speak. I've withdrawn about half of my remaining...

May Results & June Goals

Date: Mon, Jun 2, 2008 Internet Live Tournament

May turned out to be a pretty rough month for me. I'm down on both sites, although i still managed to make 500.00 profit on Fulltilt. I kinda lost my focus & desire there for a bit. I was busting everything in very poor fashion. I did go through some personal issues and that was a part of it, but i think the main problem was a two week stretch...

Playing Poorly

Date: Fri, May 30, 2008 Internet Live Tournament

Wow, i'm sucking big time right now. I just continue to donk off my stack in tournaments. Even in the 180s, where a month or so ago i was a lock to final table with less than 45 remaining and a big stack. I'm just finding ways to lose. A major part of the problem is i'm over playing strong but not monster hands in marginal spots, especially JJ....

Sunday Tournaments

Date: Sun, May 18, 2008 Internet Live Tournament

My cousin is in town so we went out last night and I had a pretty good time. But as of right now 8:48am I'm feeling pretty good to play today. I may have some girlfriend (soon to be ex) drama later today, hopefully it doesn't throw me completely off my game. Anyway I'm feeling pretty optimistic so i figure i will play up to 5% of my Stars...

Improve at Poker

Date: Thu, May 15, 2008 Internet Live Tournament

Just wanted to talk a little about studying poker. How much time do you average per week actually studying poker? If you're anything like me, an average micro stakes grinder, then the answer is not much. Yet we still want to win at this game and make lots of money... well thats just not going to happen. Unless we put in the effort required to...
