I'm Back and running pooorly!

Date: Thu, Apr 17, 2008 Internet Live Tournament

I'm done with Stats! Now back to poker. Unfortunately i don't seem as sharp as i was a couple weeks ago and i'm running like crap. I've played 20+ mtt sngs and have not cashed in any. I'm taking beat after beat in the $3 90 man KO sngs on FT and the $3 45 man sngs on stars. Its relentless. I finally resorted to playing some single table $5 sngs...

Inner Turmoil

Date: Sat, Apr 12, 2008 Internet Live Tournament

There's been a battle going on inside me for the last few weeks. I'm taking a statistics course that I hate and I'm pretty sure I'm going to fail. There's a part of me that wants to quit and be done with it. But there's a part of me thats going "don't be a quitter, just see this thing through fail or not, just complete it" So far I've been going...

Update

Date: Thu, Apr 10, 2008 Internet Live Tournament

Haven't been able to do a review of my win yet. Things have been kinda hectic, trying to finish a case study and prepare for a final stats exam. GOD I HATE this course! I feel pretty good poker-wise, but i can't play as much as i'd like right now. Played 2 $4 180 man sngs in the last two days and final tabled both, finishing 8th & 2nd. By...

Fold this 100% in Micro Stake Sngs or MTTs

Date: Mon, Apr 7, 2008 Internet Live Tournament

One of the most important skills in nlhe is knowing when to fold. In Micro Stakes Sngs and low buy in MTTs if we raise and get reraised by SB/BB we can fold up to QQ with out feeling too badly. Unless we have a read that villain is a maniac, a reraise from the blinds, especially in the early stages is more often than not AA/KK. One...

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! 1st MTT Win!!!

Date: Sun, Apr 6, 2008 Internet Live Tournament

Just took down my 1st ever real MTT. $5 FO with 1834 runners. Played the best poker of my life, stayed focused and in control throughout. I only had one major suck out that i remember and a few bad plays... but they were river extraction issues. I will probably do a write-up/review lata. I have to give credit to PXF training site. I was running...

Variance Is A BIATCH!!

Date: Sat, Apr 5, 2008 Internet Live Tournament

Yea i've been playing mediocre to bad poker since the end of March and i know most players like to blame variance rather than face the fact that they are sucking big time. But i think i know the difference. I played several $3 45 man sngs lastnight and took some of the most outrageous beats i've ever had. I'm talking about getting it in with...

Mistakes will Donkey Make.

Date: Sat, Apr 5, 2008 Internet Live Tournament

After reviewing several tournaments i realized i'm a huge donkey. I just make too many mistakes, and spew like crazy.

Why do you Poker?

Date: Wed, Apr 2, 2008 Internet Live Tournament

Duh... to make money idiot! Sure we all have dreams in the back of our minds about making it big, and making tons of cash like Brian Townsend. But realistically the majority of poker players will never acheive that level of success. So i've settled for something smaller and more attainable... if i happen to get lucky and take down a tournament for...

Easter Break

Date: Mon, Mar 17, 2008 Internet Live Tournament

I've decided to take a break from poker until after the easter break. No i'm not on a losing streak or tilted. Its just that i've felt kinda unfocused at the tables recently and this has lead to some poor play down the stretch in tournaments that i know that i should be winning. So the time from the tables will allow me to refocus. I will spend...
