A sad day for me, poker and freedom. I can no long play on Pokerstars.com I was just starting to get things going there too and get my roll up. I REALLY hope fulltilt doesn’t follow suit or else it’s panic time and I will be forced to move out of this city and state […]

Poker’s still going pretty meh this month. Rather than moan some more I figured I’d just publish an old article I wrote awhile back to keep my readers interested. Hope you like! Isildur1 has been tearing it up lately destroying all comers at NLH at the highest possible stakes and utilizing the “NO LIMIT” aspect […]
I’ll just go ahead and tell you now there’s gonna be some whining so if you don’t want to hear it just leave now. Been downswinging pretty hard the past couple of weeks. July was one of my worst months ever, I ran -$25k in EV and ended up losing like $15k of my money […]
I’ve been back in Seattle a couple of weeks now and gotten used to life in the real world again. That is to say none of my friends gamble and I’m no longer crushing online haha. When I first got back here my bankroll was peaking and I was playing higher than ever even jumping […]
Ended up busting about 837th with 747 getting paid. I doubled up early on with AQo vs KQ and was up to 105k. After that I bled away down to about 80k at 1500/3000/400 when utg who was the $5k NL bracelet winner young laggy guy opened utg to 7k and I decided to flat […]
Finished day 2 with 63k and finished day 3 with 53k. There’s about 1200 people left going into day 4 and I’m likely going to need a double up to cash, so if there’s one time I’d like to run good it’s in the next couple of hours. In day 2 I wasn’t really patient […]
Decided to come back for the main event after spending a bit less than a week back in Seattle. My roommates talked me into it by telling me how much EV I’d be missing out on if I didn’t play. After day1 I have 84k and I have to say I agree with them. There […]
Ended up getting 20th in the 6max Limit Hold’em for my only cash so far. It was definitely exciting and fun, but not the place I was looking for. I played with a number big name pros in this event including Justin Bonomo, Michael Binger, Phil Gordon and a couple others. Most of these online […]
Finally made a day 2. Still pretty far away from the money with 122 remaining and only 36 pay. My chipstack is 34,000 going into 800/1600. Played too many hands today to remember. Pretty much every table had some recognizable pro. Played a bit with Hoss at the end of last night’s play and it […]

Busted both of these pretty quickly. Event #13 was the weekly Saturday $1k with two day 1s, like 4500 total entrants and only 3000 in starting chips. I don’t think I’ll play any more of these because much like the plo events the starting stacks are just so shallow you really have to win your […]
