I’m finding it hard to get back in the groove

Date: Wed, Jul 23, 2008 Internet Live Tournament

I made Platinum this month, thanks to the 2x FPP promo, but I’ve really scaled way back on the playing. Part of it is motivation and part of it is schedule-related. I’ve been saddled with a lot more assignments on the homefront with the never-ending renovations and work has gotten a bit more [...]

Back on the felt

Date: Thu, Jul 3, 2008 Internet Live Tournament

The Stars 2x bonus promo has me cranking out some hands.  I’ve accumulated abot 5,000 points thus far, which makes me a real slacker.  I’ve also discovered an important tip when 9 tabling 5/10 LHE.  Raises on the turn mean a real hand.  Every f-ing type.  Some of my fancy plays are a very bad [...]

My usual post-WSOP funk

Date: Mon, Jun 30, 2008 Internet Live Tournament

For some reason, I seem to find my poker interest fading in the aftermath of the WSOP every year. To some extent it is probably because of its status as the premier poker event in the world. Once it is done, going to back to plain old ring games seems a bit dry. [...]

PokerStars says “Welcome Home!”

Date: Wed, Jun 11, 2008 Internet Live Tournament

Back to the old grind.  PokerStars had a very nice 30/60 table running tonight with several new faces.  It was quite tasty.  I scooped 1,000 VPPs and won $1,650 tonight.  If only they could all be like this!  I’m en fuego.  I think I hit like four sets tonight and if I remember rightly, most [...]

Limit Tourneys compared to No Limit Tourneys

Date: Wed, Jun 11, 2008 Internet Live Tournament

It is my thesis that Limit tourneys offer a higher advantage to the skilled player than No Limit tourneys do.  I base this on a number of factors.  First of all, it is my observation that many otherwise skilled players in these events have a limited grasp on proper limit poker strategy.  Namely, they chase [...]

Woo Hoo! I finished in 24th place in WSOP Event #12!

Date: Sun, Jun 8, 2008 Internet Live Tournament

I’m far too exhausted to write any details, and you are probably far too overwhelmed to listen to all the podcasts, so the title says it all. I had to really battle despite having a terribly short stack for a very long time.

Day One report

Date: Sun, Jun 1, 2008 Internet Live Tournament

I stayed up late Friday night to get acclimated to the new time zone.  I was hoping to break my usual habit of waking up in the pre-dawn hours in Vegas.  Sin City is not really a morning town.  I stayed up until 2 or 2:30, I think.  I was quite pleased when I woke [...]
