One Week Til Christmas

Date: Tue, Dec 18, 2007

This blog is over two years old now, which feels almost surreal. I mean, I realize that it’s been awhile - two years? The ironic thing is that I apparently celebrated the two year anniversary by - for the first time, as far as I can tell - going a full week without blogging. And [...]

An Interesting Hand to Lose.

Date: Tue, Dec 11, 2007

I open 9-8 of spades in the small blind. Big blind - an unknown - calls. Flop comes Q-6-4, rainbow. I bet. Big blind calls. Turn is the deuce of hearts, putting two hearts on the table. Given how loosely some peel the flop, my fold equity is huge and the pot is too big not to [...]

Poker and Life

Date: Wed, Dec 5, 2007

High On Poker posts about applying lessons learned in poker to real life, specifically regarding how luck is blind as much in poker as in life but how it’s harder to not see it for what it is in life. I’ve often considered the same thing myself, and I’ve posted about a consequence of it in the [...]

No Pokah!

Date: Mon, Dec 3, 2007

I play no pokah, no sir. All in all this last week, I managed to scrounge up about 200 (Edit: I just played 200 more, so 400) hands. The time, the energy and - most importantly - the will to play just wasn’t there. So where does this leave me? Well, after starting over at $1/$2, [...]

On Poker and Stress

Date: Tue, Nov 27, 2007

Matt Maroon posts about why he quit playing poker for a living. For everyone who aspire to become professionals, it’s worth reading. In fact, for all of us who have decided to stay casual players, it’s still worth reading - because it affirms our decision. Read it here:  http://www.thepokerchronicles.com/archives/000947.html “Imagine you go to work every day and [...]

Clawing My Way Back.

Date: Thu, Nov 22, 2007

At least I hope I am clawing my way back from busto at $1/$2 and not have this be yet another morbid joke that poker plays on me, heh.’ This week so far: +$144. VPPs to earn before December 31st: 9,333.

Fold Equity Revisited

Date: Tue, Nov 20, 2007

Last year, I spent a lot of time on the road (or, rather, in the air) travelling mostly to Beijing. Most of these (business) trips, I went on my own and therefore spent some time in the hotel room playing online poker. Not having access to PokerTracker and my notes (as I didn’t have that [...]

Near Busto.

Date: Sun, Nov 18, 2007

No point in sugarcoating it: I’m near busto. Near is a keyword, though. This year has been a rollercoaster that unfortunately has a valley that is about the size of my bankroll. I started out OK, and reached a high point sometime in June. After that, I went on a three month downswing where I either lost [...]

Finally - the Vatican.

Date: Mon, Nov 12, 2007

We got the tip from my sister that we’d be wise to get to the Vatican early; that way, we’d beat all the queue that inevitably would form. So we left the hotel shortly before 8am, got in a cab and arrived when St Peter’s Basilica opened at 8:30. The line to get in was minimal [...]

Engh.

Date: Fri, Nov 9, 2007

Yesterday, I lost 100BB in about as many hands, and I’ve decided to move back down to 2/4. It sucks, but it’s a part of the game, I guess. Getting ripped to shreds by the unfortunate way cards are dealt is, well, it’s what it is. I flopped three straights yesterday. I didn’t win any [...]

New Job!

Date: Thu, Nov 8, 2007

For the past 6 months or so, I’ve been feeling pretty down about my job. I haven’t had fun. I’ve been understimulated and bored, but I haven’t been able to change things; I’m considered “key competence” and so I’m not allowed to switch tasks, “in case we need you.” So I’ve been sitting here, trying [...]
